An interventional study of Seca medical Body Composition Analyser 515 in Heart Failure; With Decompensation, sponsored by University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland. Completed at 1 site in Switzerland. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2020-03-25.
Sponsored by University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland · Not applicable, Interventional, and Diagnostic
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.
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).
Exclusion Criteria:
Daily measurement of the Body Composition using electrical Bioimpedance Analysis in a scale (seca mBCA 515). Including total body water and weight.
Device: Seca medical Body Composition Analyser 515
Comparison of reduction of whole body water and body weight in patients with decompensated heart failure under forced diuretic treatment
Measurement of total body water (TBW) in kg
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.
Measurement of body weight (BW) in kg
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.
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).
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.
