Diuretics and HF, ICDs and the Tricuspid Valve and Right Ventricle, Neurohormonal Blockade and HF
In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at a study comparing three diuretic regimens in ambulatory congested heart failure (HF) patients (DEA-HF). He then explores a randomized trial that investigates the effects of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) leads on the tricuspid valve and right ventricle. Finally, Dr. Eagle discusses the effects of rapid uptitration of neurohormonal blockade in patients with acute decompensated HF.
