About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to assess the natriuretic effect of intravenous acetazolamide in patients admitted with heart failure and persistent congestion despite treatment with intravenous furosemide and sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 (iSGLT2) inhibitors.
The main question it aims to answer is whether there is a difference in natriuresis 24 hours after acetazolamide association to medical treatment recommended by the guidelines (furosemide and ISGLT2).
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients admitted for acute heart failure and ≥ 1 clinical sign of volume overload (edema, ascites, or pleural effusion).
NTproBNP levels >1000 pg/mL or BNP >250 ng/mL on admission.
Under treatment with furosemide and iSGLT2 according to European guidelines and indication of association of another diuretic due to residual congestion data defined by ADVOR SCORE>1.
Disqualifiers
Systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg or mean arterial pressure < 65 mmHg.
Maintenance treatment with acetazolamide/ Treatment with acetazolamide in the month prior to inclusion in the study.
Anticipated need for intravenous inotropes, vasopressors or nitroprusside during the study.
Contraindication to ISGLT2.
Trial population
Patients admitted for heart failure with persistent findings of residual congestion who meet the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria.
Trial design
Cohort
Prospective
Treatments tested in this trial
Acetazolamide 500mg
DrugPatients hospitalized with decompensated heart failure and fluid overload who require diuretic treatment for relieve of congestion. Standarized diuretic protocol according to guidelines will be applied. It consists of intravenous furosemide, SGLT2 inhibitors and acetazolamide if congestion persist.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change in natriuresis 24 hours after acetazolamide
Change in natriuresis (mmol) 24 hours after acetazolamide association to medical treatment recommended by the guidelines (furosemide and ISGLT2).
Secondary outcomes
Increase in diuresis 24 hours after acetazolamide administration
Increase in diuresis 24 hours after acetazolamide administration (liters)

Weight difference 24 hours after acetazolamide administration (Kg)
Difference in congestion score 24 hours after acetazolamide administration.
Difference in congestion score 24 hours after acetazolamide administration using ADVOR congestion score. It is a 0-10 scale used in the ADVOR trial to objectively quantify volume overload in acute heart failure, based on three components: peripheral edema scored from 0 to 4 points, pleural effusion from 0 to 3 points, and ascites from 0 to 3 points. A total score of 0 represents the absence of measurable congestion, while the maximum of 10 indicates severe, multisite fluid accumulation. Higher ADVOR scores reflect more severe congestion.
Difference in ultrasound measurement of Inferior Vena Cava 24 hours after acetazolamide administration.
Difference in inferior vena cava size (mm) assessed by ultrasound, he IVC is visualized in the subcostal long-axis view, and its diameter is measured about 1-2 cm from its junction with the right atrium, 24 hours after acetazolamide administration
