Currently, six million people in the U.S. have heart failure, with a little over half […]

Reversing this overloaded state is the principal goal in treatment of acute decompensated HF, typically achieved using loop diuretics (2). Despite ubiquitous use of loop diuretics, guidance on initial dosing strategies remains limited […]
