AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria Renal dysfunction defined as estimated eGFR of 20-80 mL/min; history of systolic or diastolic chronic heart failure of at least 14 days duration for which loop diuretic therapy has been prescribed; clinical evidence for volume overload; BNP ≥ 500 pg/mL or NT-pro-BNP \> 2000 pg/mL; hospitalization.
Exclusion Criteria Have low output syndrome, defined as having the need for treatment with I.V. inotropes or vasopressors; Need mechanical ventilation; Have significant stenotic valvular disease (severe aortic or mitral stenosis); Have myocardial infarction or hemodynamically destabilizing significant arrythmias (ventricular tachycardia, bradyarrythmias with slow ventricular rate \[\<45 bpm\] or atrial fibrillation/flutter with a rapid ventricular response of \>120 bpm), or electrocardiographic evidence of 2nd degree heart block (Mobitz Type II) or 3rd degree AV-block in the absence of a pacemaker, within 30 days of screening; Have acute myocarditis or hypertrophic obstructive, restrictive, or constrictive cardiomyopathy
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
