Heart Failure Treatment Today


Two key metrics are required to determine optimal therapy for fluid overload:

  • Volume Status (intravascular volume)
  • Kidney Function (mGFR)

No clinical viable options for accurate measurement of intravascular volume exist in current practice.

The frontline treatment for Congestive Heart Failure is fluid removal using diuretic therapies. It is difficult to determine the appropriate dose leading to too much or too little fluid removal.

The challenge – to correctly dose diuretics to manage a patient’s volume status and kidney function when you cannot accurately and readily measure these parameters.

Clinical Need →

90% of heart failure admissions are due to intravascular volume overload, yet there is no current way to measure volume.
