Sodium Effects on Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure in Compensated Heart Failure Patients During 12 Months of Follow-Up: A Randomized and Double-Masked Study
Background Few studies compared different sodium (Na) diets associated with high furosemide doses (FHD) and fluid intake restriction (FIR) on the PCWC in compensated heart failure (HF) patients. Objectives The study was aimed to verify FHD effects, 120 mmol/Na/day and FIR (1.000 ml day) vs FHD, FIR, and 80 mmol/Na/day on the PCWP, during 12 months of follow-up. Methods 289 patients with HF were randomized: Group A (n =146) received 120 mmol Na/day, FIR, and 125-250 mg bid of [...]
