Efficacy and Safety of corticoSTEROids Added to Standard Therapy in Patients With Acute Heart Failure (STERO-AHF)

Summary

STERO-AHF is a pilot, prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label, controlled study aimed to evaluate the diuretic efficacy and early clinical benefit of corticosteroid therapy administered for 7 days, in addition to standard therapy, in patients hospitalized for acute heart failure (AHF) and with evidence of insufficient diuretic response. Eligible patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive either standard-of-care alone (control group) or standard-of-care plus corticosteroid therapy (experimental group) for up to 7 days. Patients will be followed to 30 days.
