Comparing Diuretic Strategies in Hospitalized Heart Failure
We will conduct a pragmatic randomized trial comparing whether using a combination of two types of diuretics (loop + thiazide) compared with using a single diuretic (loop only) will result in shorter hospital stays for patients hospitalized with heart failure.
Stanford is currently not accepting patients for this trial.
