Clinical Trial: Effect of W-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids on Serum Albumin Concentration in Patients With Acute Heart Failure, Hypoalbuminemia, and High Inflammatory Activity
Study Status: Recruiting
Recruit Status: Recruiting
Study Type: Interventional
Official Title: Effect of W-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids on Serum Albumin Concentration in Patients With Acute Heart Failure, Hypoalbuminemia, and High Inflammatory Activity
Brief Summary: Assess whether high doses of ?-3 fatty acids added to standard treatment of patients with acute hearta failure, hypoalbuminemia and high inflammatory activity, promotes an increase in serum albumin
Detailed Summary:
Assess whether high doses of ?-3 fatty acids added to standard treatment of patients with acute hearta failure, hypoalbuminemia and high inflammatory activity, promotes an increase in serum albumin
Assess the effect of high doses of ?-3 fatty acids added to standard treatment of patients with acute hearta failure, hypoalbuminemia and high inflammatory activity on:
- Inflammatory activity (C-reactive protein)
- The development of biomarkers (NTproBNP).
- The prognosis of patients evaluated by the combined event of death from any cause or readmission for heart failure within three months after randomization.
