Heart failure (HF) is a global public health problem with about one-third of Europeans developing HF over the age of 55. 1, 2 Furthermore, hospitalizations for HF account for over a million admissions annually in Europe and may carry a risk of mortality as high as 20-30% in the subsequent year. 3, 4 A major component of inpatient HF management is volume control, and patients often struggle with residual congestion at discharge resulting in impairments in quality of life and functional limitations as an outpatient. 5, 6 Currently, there is a lack of evidence-based decongestion strategies and clearly defined endpoints to guide treatment duration, although loop diuretics remain the cornerstone of inpatient HF management. The Acetazolamide in Decompensated Heart Failure with Volume Overload (ADVOR) trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of acetazolamide as an adjunct to loop diuretic therapy in patients with acute decompensated HF (ADHF) compared to usual standard of care. In short, the patients randomly assigned to receive acetazolamide reached successful clinical decongestion on day 3, as well as had a shorter length of stay, but did not have a meaningful difference in rehospitalization for HF or all-cause mortality at 3 months. Furthermore, there was no evidence of clinically significant hypokalemia or hyponatremia when treated with acetazolamide in addition to loop diuretics. 7-9The ADVOR study was a multicenter, double-blind, randomized controlled trial set across 27 sites in Belgium between 2018-2022. 7-9 Patients were eligible for enrollment if they were adult patients> 18 years admitted for ADHF and presented with 1) more than one clinical sign of volume overload (ie, defined as> 2+ pitting edema, ascites on ultrasound, or pleural effusion on chest x-ray), 2) elevated natriuretic peptide, and 3) prior low-dose oral maintenance diuretic therapy for more than a month. Patients were excluded if they had newly diagnosed HF (ie, de novo), were on SGLT-2 inhibitor therapy, or if they received higher doses of IV loop diuretics during hospitalization, which was defined as either> 2 mg bumetanide,> 80 mg
