About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to assess the natriuretic effect of intravenous acetazolamide in patients admitted with heart failure and persistent congestion despite treatment with intravenous furosemide and sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 (iSGLT2) inhibitors.
The main question it aims to answer is whether there is a difference in natriuresis 24 hours after acetazolamide association to medical treatment recommended by the guidelines (furosemide and ISGLT2).
