A combined clinical and biomarker approach to predict diuretic response in acute heart failure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background: Poor diuretic response in acute heart failure is related to poor clinical outcome. The underlying mechanisms and pathophysiology behind diuretic resistance are incompletely understood.

Cardiac Dysfunction, Congestion and Loop Diuretics: their Relationship to Prognosis in Heart Failure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: Diuretics are the mainstay of treatment for congestion but concerns exist that they adversely affect prognosis. We explored whether the relationship between loop diuretic use and outcome is explained by the underlying severity of ...

Association between diuretic use and the risk of vertebral fracture after stroke: a population-based retrospective cohort study

open access: yesBMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2019
Background Stroke is a major risk factor for osteoporosis and fractures. No study has evaluated the association between diuretic use and risk of vertebral fracture in stroke patients, although a considerable proportion of stroke patients are prescribed ...

Improving Postdischarge Outcomes in Acute Heart Failure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The global burden that acute heart failure (AHF) carries has remained unchanged over the past several decades (1). European registries (2–5) showed that 1-year outcome rates remain unacceptably high (Table 1) and confirm that hospitalization for AHF ...

Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors as diuretic adjuvants in acute decompensated heart failure: a case series

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, 2020
Aims Diuretic resistance is common in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). When loop diuretic monotherapy is ineffective, thiazides are often recommended as adjunctive therapy, but these agents have many side effects and are associated with worsened

Comparative effectiveness of enalapril, lisinopril, and ramipril in the treatment of patients with chronic heart failure: a propensity score-matched cohort study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background: Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) are recommended as first-line therapy in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The comparative effectiveness of different ACEIs is not known. Methods and results:

Rolofylline, an adenosine A1−receptor antagonist, in acute heart failure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background: Worsening renal function, which is associated with adverse outcomes, often develops in patients with acute heart failure. Experimental and clinical studies suggest that counterregulatory responses mediated by adenosine may be involved. We

Effects of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors on Water and Sodium Metabolism

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors exert hypoglycemic and diuretic effects by inhibiting the absorption of sodium and glucose from the proximal tubule.

The effects of short-term omission of daily medication on the pathophysiology of heart failure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Aims Pharmacological therapies for heart failure (HF) aim to improve congestion, symptoms, and prognosis. Failing to take medication is a potential cause of worsening HF.

Albumin and Furosemide Combination for Management of Edema in Nephrotic Syndrome: A Review of Clinical Studies

open access: yesCells, 2015
The treatment of edema in patients with nephrotic syndrome is generally managed by dietary sodium restriction and loop diuretics. However, edema does not improve in some patients despite adequate sodium restriction and maximal dose of diuretics.
