  • Title: Diuretic use in heart failure and outcomes.
    Author: von Lueder TG, Atar D, Krum H.
    Journal: Clin Pharmacol Ther; 2013 Oct; 94(4):490-8. PubMed ID: 23852396.
    Abstract:
    Diuretics are frequently administered to relieve congestive symptoms in patients with heart failure (HF). Despite their widespread use, prospective data on the potential of diuretics to modulate HF-related morbidity and mortality are scarce. Diuretic efficacy may be limited by adverse neurohormonal activation and by "congestion-like" symptoms that may occur in the absence of fluid overload. Herein, we review the current knowledge on diuretic use and outcomes in HF.
