Conditions
Heart Failure

Device: UrgoK2 / UrgoK2 Lite
Registration Number
NCT06418932
Lead Sponsor
Fundación para la Investigación del Hospital Clínico de Valencia
Brief Summary

Randomized 1:1 multicenter double-blind clinical investigation evaluating the efficacy and safety of compression therapy of the lower limbs plus parenteral administration of diuretics vs. administration of parenteral diuretics alone (standard treatment) in patients with decompensated HF and predominantly systemic tissue congestion and absence of intravascular systemic congestion.

Patients will be assigned to standard treatment (parenteral administration of furosemide) versus parenteral administration of furosemide plus lower limb compression therapy for up to 72 hours. The dose of furosemide in all participants will be based on the clinical judgment of the responsible healthcare professional.
