Description: Can we break the cycle of Diuretic Resistance?
What do you do when the "gold standard" treatment for your congested patient simply stops working? Diuretic resistance (DR) affects up to one-third of patients with heart failure, turning a routine clinical task into a high-stakes battle against prolonged hospitalization and mortality. In this episode, we dive into a comprehensive narrative review that moves beyond simple drug escalation to offer a sophisticated, phenotype-driven roadmap for the modern clinician.
