简要总结
This study is designed to investigate the quantitative effects of sodium-free chloride supplementation on electrolyte balance, volume status, and sodium avidity in stable heart failure patients in a highly controlled environment.
详细描述
The overarching goal of this study is to develop a comprehensive understanding of the biology and therapeutic potential of sodium-free chloride supplementation. While sodium homeostasis has been the focus of substantial investigation, very little research has been devoted to understanding chloride homeostasis. Thus, this proposal is designed to obtain the full spectrum of information pertaining to chloride, such as novel areas with great interest by the scientific community (i.e. modulation of the WNK-kinase system and the use of exosomes), to more practical/basic questions (i.e. what happens to sodium chloride balance when a patient is challenged with chloride).
This study is designed as a highly controlled inpatient "GCRC" arm to be compared to a real world efficacy study that has been proposed as a separate study. With extensive biobanking and analysis of samples in the inpatient setting, we will be able to deliver a great wealth of information on the biology and therapeutic potential of manipulating chloride homeostasis in heart failure.

入选标准
- •Meticulous history of medical compliance and attendance of appointments
- •Stable heart failure as defined by:
- •Absence of hospitalizations for 90 days
- •Stable diuretic and medical therapy for 30 days
- •Opinion of the patient's treating physician (Heart Failure Cardiologist) that the patient is at optimal volume status
- •Evidence based heart failure treatment with maximally-tolerated doses of a beta blocker, ACE/ARB/neprilysin inhibitor and aldosterone antagonist
- •Chronic loop diuretic therapy with ≥ 40 mg of furosemide equivalents
- •Serum chloride <102 mmol/L
排除标准
- •Inability to commit to or comply with the rigorous study protocol
- •Use of a thiazide diuretic in the last 30 days
- •History of metabolic or respiratory acidosis
- •Use of metformin, acetazolamide, or any other agent that could predispose to acidosis. Patients who are on metformin may be enrolled if their metformin can be safely discontinued for the randomized periods in each arm. Any participants who have consistently elevated Blood glucose readings > 200 mg/dL while inpatient will not be enrolled.

- •Use of chloride containing medications that provide more than 5 mmol/day of chloride if the medication cannot be discontinued or substituted
- •Appears unlikely, or unable to participate in the required study procedures, as assessed by the study PI or research RN (ex: clinically-significant psychiatric, addictive, or neurological disease)
- •Inability to give written informed consent or follow study protocol

结局指标
主要结局
Mean Change in Blood Volume
时间窗: Day 7
Volumex is albumin labeled with the iodine isotope I-131 and is an FDA-approved method used to determine total blood volume. A linear mixed effect model will be used to analyze the trial with class variables of time and treatment group. Day 1 and day 7 measures of blood collection will be compared between intervention and placebo arms. Data presented here is the change from Day 1 to Day 7.
Mean Change in Plasma Volume
时间窗: Day 7
Volumex is albumin labeled with the iodine isotope I-131 and is an FDA-approved method used to determine plasma volume. A linear mixed effect model will be used to analyze the trial with class variables of time and treatment group. Day 1 and day 7 measures of blood collection will be compared between intervention and placebo arms. Data presented here is the change from Day 1 to Day 7.
