Brief Summary

Acutely decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is highly prevalent and has a high (financial) burden on the health care system. Treatment often consists of the administration of IV decongestive agents. Adequate dosing is difficult due to varying diuretic resistance and inadequate parameters to evaluate the response. Urine sodium is a promising biomarker to evaluate the diuretic response. It is hypothesized that a tailored, urine sodium guided diuretic algorithm will result in faster and more complete decongestion and therefore lead to better survival (in terms of mortality and heart failure events) while being non-inferior in terms of safety (mainly regression of kidney function).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Age \> 18 years; * HF (HFrEF, HFmrEF or HFpEF) diagnosed according to the 2021 HF Guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology \[5\]; * Presentation with AHF meaning at least one symptom (dyspnea, orthopnea, or edema) and one sign (rales, peripheral edema, ascites, or pulmonary vascular congestion on chest radiography) of AHF; * An elevated NT-proBNP \>300pg/ml; * Requiring the need for iv diuretics. Exclusion Criteria: * Terminal renal insufficiency defined as: dialysis patients or eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) \< 10 mL/min/1.73 m2; * Patients included in other investigational studies regarding heart failure. * Presentation with cardiogenic shock or respiratory insufficiency or another reason requiring admission to the intensive care unit upon admission (IC transfer later in the hospitalization is not an exclusion).
