The independent association between altered renal arterial resistance and loop diuretic dose in chronic heart failure outpatients

Background: In chronic heart failure (CHF) patients there is a wide variability in the minimal effective diuretic dose. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether renal resistance index (RRI) is associated to baseline diuretic dose and the changes at one year. Methods and results: 250 outpatients...
