Summary

This study aims to understand how nitroglycerin affects patients with acute heart failure, a condition where the heart struggles to pump blood effectively, leading to fluid buildup and breathing difficulties. Nitroglycerin relaxes blood vessels to ease the heart's workload and may help reduce fluid buildup. The investigators hypothesize that nitroglycerin can increase blood flow from the heart and promote urine production, which may reduce congestion in AHF patients. By studying heart function, blood volume, and fluid levels during treatment, the goal is to identify which patients may benefit most from nitroglycerin therapy.
