Summary

TACTIC-HF is a prospective randomized crossover trial designed to compare three ambulatory diuretic strategies in patients with worsening heart failure treated in a specialized heart failure day-hospital program.

Participants will receive sequential treatment with:

1. intravenous furosemide alone,
2. intravenous furosemide combined with oral acetazolamide, and
3. intravenous furosemide combined with oral hydrochlorothiazide.

The primary objective is to compare short-term natriuretic response between strategies. Secondary objectives include assessment of urine output, congestion parameters, and renal/electrolyte safety.

Each participant will undergo repeated outpatient treatment sessions separated by washout periods, with standardized clinical and laboratory monitoring performed during each visit.

The study aims to evaluate pragmatic and clinically applicable ambulatory decongestion strategies using approved therapies commonly available in real-world practice.
