Urinary Chloride and Sodium Changes and Residual Congestion in Acute Heart Failure

Official title: Association of Urinary Chloride and Sodium Dynamics With Multiparametrically Assessed Residual Congestion in Acute Heart Failure (CLORINA-IC)

Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn how changes in urinary sodium and chloride levels relate to fluid overload and short-term outcomes in patients hospitalized with acute heart failure (AHF). The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Do changes over time in urinary sodium and chloride reflect how well excess fluid is being removed during hospitalization?
* Are these changes associated with residual congestion at discharge and with the risk of worsening heart failure or death after discharge?

Participants hospitalized for AHF and treated with intravenous diuretics as part of their usual care will have clinical assessments, blood and urine tests, and echocardiographic evaluations collected at several time points during their hospital stay. Researchers will also record clinical outcomes, including worsening heart failure or death, at 30 days and 3 months after discharge.

Conditions

  • Acute Heart Failure (AHF)
  • Heart Failure
  • Congestion

Primary Outcome Measures

  • Residual Congestion at 72 Hours (72 hours after admission.)
    Residual Congestion 72 hours after admission, defined as the presence of any of the following criteria: i) Congestion Clinical Score (CCS) ≥ 2; ii) Portal venous flow pulsatility \> 30%; iii) Estimated plasma volume status (ePVS) \> 5.5 mL/g.
