Official Title: Acute Effects of Furosemide on Hemodynamics and Pulmonary Congestion in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure.
Brief Summary:
Intravenous (IV) loop diuretics have been a key component in treating pulmonary edema since the 1960s and has a Class 1 recommendation in the 2021 guidelines for acute heart failure.However, no randomized clinical trials have investigated loop diuretics versus other interventions for acute heart failure, and clinical knowledge of the hemodynamic effects of furosemide is based in studies from the 1970s.In this study, we aim to assess the acute effect of furosemide on cardiac filling pressures and pulmonary…
