Hypochloremia is negatively associated with outcomes in cats with stable congestive heart failure

Key Points

• The study aims to investigate the relationship between hypochloremia and clinical outcomes in cats suffering from congestive heart failure (CHF).
• Evaluated chloride levels (s[Cl-]) in cats diagnosed with CHF.
• Assessed the overall clinical outcomes of cats with varying chloride levels.
• Found that lower chloride levels are associated with poorer outcomes.
• Indicated a need for consideration in treatments to normalize chloride levels in CHF cats.
