Developmental phase



Assessment

Primary outcomes

The change in BNP levels from the enrolment in this trial to 2 months later.

Key secondary outcomes

1) Changes in renal functional parameters: creatinine clearance, urinary microalbumin excretion, and urinary L-FABP excretion, from the enrolment in this trial to 2 months later.
2) Adverse events which are defined as all cause death, worsening of heart failure requiring an increase in an amount of loop diuretics, and ventricular arrhythmia which need cardioversion or defibrillation, during the period from the enrolment in this trial to 2 months later.
3) Adverse events which are defined as cardiovascular death and/or hospitalization for heart failure during 6 months after 2 months intervention period.

Interventions/Control_1

Key inclusion criteria

Patients who are older than 20 years and have been receiving loop diuretics of the amount equivalent to more than 40 mg a day of furosemide due to chronic heart failure. The patients with in stable condition without changes in both symptoms and therapy of heart failure within one month prior to the enrolment.

Key exclusion criteria

1. Patients who have already received tolvaptan therapy.
Patients who are more than 80 years and have difficulty in complain thirst.
2. Patients with renal dysfunction having an estimated glomerular filtration rate 30mL or less /min/1.73m2 and/or requiring hemodialysis.
3. Patients with liver dysfunction which is defined as an increase threefold in aspartate aminotransferase and/or alanine aminotransferase compared to the upper limit of normal range.
4. Patients with percutaneous coronary intervention or open heart surgery within the past 3 months.
5. Patients under the pacing therapy using implantable cardiac pacemaker, cardiac resynchronization therapy device, or implantable cardiac defibrillator.
6. Patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
7. Patients with endocrine diseases such as thyroid dysfunction, or adrenal dysfunction which may have an effect on balance of body fluid.
8. Patients with any serious non-cardiovascular disease including malignancy, which have expected 6 months or less to live.
