diuretics lower CHF death risk
Filed in archive Studies , Treatment on February 14, 2006
A new review of studies shows that diuretics reduce the risk of death, delay heart deterioration and improve exercise capacity in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF).
However, the reviewers said that diuretics (which help the body get rid of excess fluid) should be used in conjunction with other heart medications in treating CHF.
The review appears in the most recent issue of The Cochrane Library, a publication of The Cochrane Collaboration, an international organization that evaluates medical research.
