Examining Symptom Management and Quality of Life of Loop Diuretic-Induced Overactive Bladder Among Heart Failure Patients: Physician and Patient Perspectives [PDF]
Loop diuretics are strongly recommended in patients with chronic congestive heart failure (HF) to alleviate signs and symptoms of fluid overload. Loop diuretics help relieve congestive symptoms and reduce mortality, but may have side effects. This survey
