Primary Outcome Measures:
  • 1-year mortality or rehospitalization (all-cause, cardiovascular, non-cardiovascular, and due to worsening heart failure). [ Time Frame: 1-year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

  • 60-day mortality or rehospitalization (all-cause, cardiovascular, non-cardiovascular, and due to worsening heart failure). [ Time Frame: 60-day post discharge ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Novel indices of acute renal ischemia/injury (cystatin-C, KIM-1, NGAL) [ Time Frame: Throughout hospitalization ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Detailed Description:

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of:

  1. high-dose furosemide (HDF, 40 mg furosemide bolus IV, followed by continuous IV infusion of 20 mg/h for a total of 8 hours),
  2. low-dose furosemide (LDF, 40 mg furosemide bolus IV, followed by continuous IV infusion of 5 mg/h furosemide for a total of 8 hours), and
  3. low-dose furosemide combined with low-dose dopamine (LDFD, 40 mg furosemide bolus IV, followed by continuous IV infusion of 5 mg/h furosemide plus 5μg/kg/min dopamine for a total of 8 hours) on diuresis, perceived dyspnea, renal function, electrolyte balance, total length of stay, and 60-day post-discharge outcomes in patients hospitalized with ADHF.
