Heart Failure & Impaired Kidney Function

Hightower Clinical’s previous study on heart failure and impaired kidney function contributed to more effective care strategies and helped improve the quality of life for many patients.

Contributed to Improved Care for Patients with Heart Failure and CKD

Heart failure occurs when the heart can’t pump blood effectively, leading to symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, and swelling. Chronic kidney disease (CKD), a gradual loss of kidney function, often contributes to heart failure by increasing strain on the heart and disrupting fluid and blood pressure balance.

To better understand this connection, Hightower conducted a clinical trial focused on heart failure and impaired kidney function. The study evaluated the effects of a once-daily treatment added to standard care on reducing cardiovascular death and heart failure-related events.
