Effects of ULTRAfiltration vs. DIureticS on Clinical, Biohumoral and Haemodynamic Variables in Patients with deCOmpensated Heart Failure: The ULTRADISCO Study

Abstract

In patients with advanced HF, ultrafiltration facilitates a greater clinical improvement compared with diuretic infusion by ameliorating haemodynamics (assessed using a minimally invasive methodology) without a marked increase in aldosterone or NT-proBNP levels.
