Key result
Review summarizes contemporary methods for assessing volume status and pathophysiological principles of HF diuretic therapy.
Why the study?
Congestion assessment, monitoring, and treatment remain a challenge in daily clinical practice despite extracellular volume expansion being a hallmark of heart failure syndromes.
This review provides a clinical and pathophysiological overview of methods for assessing volume status and the principles underlying diuretic use in heart failure.
