May support volume expansion over diuresis in low-output states without high filling pressures; case reports leave open need for controlled trials.
Pulmonary edema can occur without critically elevated left atrial pressure in acute myocardial infarction, and these patients may benefit from plasma volume expansion rather than diuresis.
Timmis et al. (1981) studied this question.
