Dose of Furosemide Before Admission Predicts Diuretic Efficiency and Long-Term Prognosis in Acute Heart Failure

Abstract

The outpatient dose of furosemide before acute HF admission predicts DE and must be taken into account when deciding on the initial diuretic dose. In ADHF, the outpatient dose of furosemide can predict long-term prognosis better than DE during hospitalization.
