Heart failure is a condition in which the heart cannot pump blood as well as it should, often causing fluid buildup, shortness of breath, and swelling. The study will give participants a medicine called acetazolamide in addition to their usual heart medicines, which may already include a diuretic such as furosemide, to help remove excess fluid.
The purpose of the study is to find out whether adding acetazolamide to standard treatment leads to better removal of fluid and relief of symptoms. Volunteers will take the study drug for a short period, weigh themselves each day on a special scale that sends the information to a remote monitoring system, and have a few check‑ins over the next two weeks to see how they feel and how their weight changes.
