🆘“Nephrology Stopped the Diuretics: Renal Considerations in the Management of Heart Failure” 🫘 🫀
#ACC23 #CardioNerds @CardioNerds

Dr. Alison Grazioli discussed the response to diuretics in HF: Image
What happens after you start loop diuretics?
🔸Net Na loss
🔸Short term Anti-Natruresis: ↗️Na retention
🔸Nephron remodeling
‼️Na loss may be equivalent to Na retention‼️ Image

19The balloon pump 🎈 produces counter-pulsation in the aorta, inflating during diastole, deflating in systole. It can be left in place for days & is relatively small. It requires cardiac synchrony or a rhythm to really function well.

Its output is modest at 0.5 L/min.
