Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - 0.5M Sodium lactate
Treatment: Drugs - Hartmann's solution

Experimental: 0.5M Sodium lactate - A bolus of 0.5M Sodium lactate of 3 ml per kg body weight (BW) is administered in 15 minutes, followed by a continuous infusion with 1 ml per kg per hour for 24 hours, i.e. in total 27 ml per kg over 24 hours

Active comparator: Hartmann's solution - Hartmann's solution of 3 ml per kg BW is administered in 15 minutes. There is NO continuous infusion infused thereafter; i.e. in total 3 ml per kg over 24 hours

Summary
Brief summary
The objective of this trial to see whether:

-Cardiac performance (cardiac index and secondary outcomes)can be improved in patients with acute heart failure (AHF) and symptoms and consequences of fluid overload (pulmonary and interstitial edema) and poor peripheral perfusion can be reduced by:

1. Providing lactate as a substrate(Improve cardiac index)
2. Simultaneously restoring optimal preload

Optimal standard treatment will be achieved in both arms with the use of current best treatment protocol for AHF as per independent treating physician.

4. To assess effects of 0.5M Na lactate (Totilac) on plasma and urine biological parameters (sodium, potassium, chloride, pH, bicarb, base excess, albumin)

5. To assess effects of 0.5M Na lactate on morbidity and mortality.
