About this trial
This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Heart Failure; With Decompensation focused on measuring heart failure, cardial decompensation, smart scale, bioimpedance analysis, whole body water
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- able to give informed consent
- hospitalization because of decompensated heart failure treated with forced diuresis
- able to stand on the scale without help from others and able to hold handrails with both hands
Exclusion Criteria:
- refusal to share personal data
- implantable electronic device (e.g. Pacemaker, etc.)
- condition that does not allow skin contact of soles of feet and scale or hands with handrail (leg prosthesis, wounds, bandage, etc.)
Sites / Locations
- University Hospital Basel
Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Label
Body Composition Analysis
Arm Description
Daily measurement of the Body Composition using electrical Bioimpedance Analysis in a scale (seca mBCA 515). Including total body water and weight.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Measurement of total body water (TBW) in kg
total body water (TBW) in kg will be measured daily
Measurement of body weight (BW) in kg
body weight (BW) in kg will be measured daily
Secondary Outcome Measures
Measurement of fatty tissue (FT) in kg
To provide a more exact comparison of total body water and body weight, fatty mass will be subtracted from the body weight. Subsequently the absolute difference between the reduction of the total body water (in kg) and the reduction of the body weight (in kg), in which fatty tissue (in kg) was subtracted, will be calculated (e.g. (BW day 1- FT day 1) - (BW day 2 - FT day 2) = reduction of BW without fatty tissue).

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
In this trial the measurement of whole body water will be compared to the standard method of measuring the body weight as treatment guidance in patients with decompensated heart failure. The Seca mBCA 515 [medical Body Composition Analyser] will be used to quantify the whole body water by using bioelectrical impedance analysis.
Detailed Description
Investigators will include 153 participants hospitalized in the University Hospital in Basel. Daily measurements of whole body water and body weight will be performed in each person until diuretic treatment is stopped or the patient is discharged from hospital, respectively.
Primary endpoint is the correlation between reduction of whole body water (in kg) and reduction of body weight (in kg) in patients with decompensated heart failure receiving forced diuretic treatment (max. deviation +/- 1kg).

Intervention Description
Comparison of reduction of whole body water and body weight in patients with decompensated heart failure under forced diuretic treatment
Primary Outcome Measure Information:
Title
Measurement of total body water (TBW) in kg
Description
total body water (TBW) in kg will be measured daily
Time Frame
From baseline until the date of hospital discharge or stop date of forced diuretic treatment, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 weeks.
Title
Measurement of body weight (BW) in kg
Description
body weight (BW) in kg will be measured daily
Time Frame
From baseline until the date of hospital discharge or stop date of forced diuretic treatment, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 weeks.
Secondary Outcome Measure Information:
Title
Measurement of fatty tissue (FT) in kg
Description
To provide a more exact comparison of total body water and body weight, fatty mass will be subtracted from the body weight. Subsequently the absolute difference between the reduction of the total body water (in kg) and the reduction of the body weight (in kg), in which fatty tissue (in kg) was subtracted, will be calculated (e.g. (BW day 1- FT day 1) - (BW day 2 - FT day 2) = reduction of BW without fatty tissue).
Time Frame
From baseline until the date of hospital discharge or stop date of forced diuretic treatment, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 weeks.
