Comparative Effectiveness and Safety of Torsemide Versus Furosemide in Older Adults With Heart Failure
Compared with furosemide, initiation of torsemide was associated with a slightly lower risk of a composite of all-cause mortality or heart failure hospitalization and urgent visits with intravenous diuretics, but a slightly higher risk of acute kidney injury. In older adults, clinicians must balance torsemide's potential benefits with the acute kidney injury risk.
