No immediate clinical implications for diuretic choice; leaves open translation of azosemide benefits beyond rat hypertensive HF models.
Does azosemide improve survival compared to furosemide in a rat model of hypertensive heart failure?
In a rat model of hypertensive heart failure, the long-acting loop diuretic azosemide improved survival and reduced cardiac fibrosis compared to the short-acting diuretic furosemide.
Yoshida et al. (2005) studied this question.
