Dynamics of urinary chloride and sodium and their link to decongestion in acute heart failure and preserved ejection fraction: NACLOCRo‐HF study

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
The study evaluated urinary chloride (uCl) and sodium (uNa) trajectories in 70 elderly patients hospitalized with acute heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Urine samples were collected at baseline, 24, 48 and 72 h. A multiparametric approach assessed decongestion using the clinical congestion score (CCS), portal vein (PV) pulsatility
