Objectives This study was designed to compare the safety and efficacy of veno-venous ultrafiltration and standard intravenous diuretic therapy for hypervolemic heart failure (HF) patients.Background Early ultrafiltration may be an alternative to intravenous diuretics in patients with decompensated HF and volume overload.Methods Patients hospitalized for HF with >= 2 signs of hypervolemia were randomized to ultrafiltration or intravenous diuretics. Primary end points were weight loss and dyspnea assessment at 48 h after randomization. Secondary end points included net fluid loss at 48 h, functional capacity, HF rehospitalizations, and unscheduled visits in 90 days. Safety end points included changes in renal function, electrolytes, and blood pressure.Results Two hundred patients (63 +/- 15 years, 69% men, 71% ejection fraction
