Prevalence and Characteristics of Upfront Diuretic Resistance in Acute Heart Failure: The P-Value-AHF Study
Upfront diuretic resistance in an unselected population of AHF patients presenting to the ED affects only a minority of patients. These data highlight the importance of a standardized, protocolized approach to decongestive treatment in AHF, which includes the rapid administration of loop diuretics in an adequate dose. Pre-existing chronic kidney disease and high creatinine levels were more prevalent in patients with diuretic resistance.
