  • Title: Diuretics in congestive heart failure.
    Author: Sica DA, Gehr T.
    Journal: Cardiol Clin; 1989 Feb; 7(1):87-97. PubMed ID: 2650875.
    Abstract:
    Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a condition characterized by a number of hormonal and renal adaptations which together conspire to salt and water retention. Diuretic therapy has been, and continues to be, a cornerstone to therapy for CHF. The rational use of diuretics, or diuretic combination such as metolazone-furosemide, can both effectively administer to the congestive symptoms seen in heart failure as well as temper many of the complications of this therapeutic modality.
