Dopamine in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure II
Stopped early · Phase 4
Conditions studied: Acute Decompensated Heart Failure
In brief
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of 1) high-dose furosemide, 2) low-dose furosemide, and 3) low-dose furosemide combined with low-dose dopamine on diuresis, clinical status, renal function, electrolyte balance, length of stay, and 60-day post-discharge outcomes in patients hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure.
