Does fluid restriction improve outcomes in patients with acute decompensated heart failure with reduced ejection fraction?
This article reviews the practice of fluid restriction in acute decompensated heart failure with reduced ejection fraction as part of the 'Things We Do for No Reason' series.
Challenges routine fluid restriction in ADHF-HFrEF; leaves open need for randomized outcome trials.
