简要总结
This trial will look at the effectiveness and patient acceptance of ultrafiltration therapy in an outpatient setting.
The purpose of this study is to determine if ambulatory patients who suffer from heart failure and hypervolemia can be safely and effectively treated in an outpatient infusion clinic. The results from this trial will be useful in planning a larger, randomized trial comparing usual care and ultrafiltration for this patient population in similar ambulatory settings.
详细描述
This is a pilot study to assess the feasibility, effectiveness, safety and patient acceptance of ultrafiltration in ambulatory patients with heart failure and hypervolemia. The results will be useful in planning a larger clinical trial.
