Heart failure & cardiomyopathies

Design and rationale of the Urine Sodium-directed Diuretic Adjustment Strategy in Heart Failure (US-DASH) trial

Am Heart JPublished Pragmatic, single-center, randomized, controlled, open-label

Study context

Population
Patients with acute heart failure
Planned comparison
a high-threshold natriuresis target improves natriuresis compared with both a low-threshold natriuretic strategy and traditional methods
Primary endpoint
24-hour natriuresis
Follow-up
24-hour
Methodological detailsstratification by eGFR (greater than versus less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m²) and number of home diuretics (0-1 versus 2+)
  • Stratification by eGFR (greater than versus less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m²) and number of home diuretics (0-1 versus 2+)
