Project description
Improving the treatment of acute heart failure
Chronic heart failure is an important medical challenge that may lead to acute heart failure (AHF), the most common cause of hospitalisation for individuals over the age of 65. Standard treatment of AHF involves the administration of diuretics to facilitate fluid decongestion. However, a significant proportion of AHF patients have developed diuretic resistance. With the numbers of AHF cases projected to increase due to the ageing population, the EU-funded Doraya project has developed an innovative catheter device as an alternative to diuretic treatment, offering an optimal solution for restoring organ function.
