Study Overview

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to establish a model for the evaluation of drug targets using postural measures to induce changes in lung water concentration as assessed by MRI. A reduction in the magnitude and rate of water transudation with postural changes in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) could provide a model for the evaluation of various classes of molecules for target validation and for dose selection.
