Dr. Alison Grazioli discussed the response to diuretics in HF:
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‼️
Patients with decompensated HF will need higher doses of diuretics due to decreased renal blood flow: #ACC23#CardioNerds@CardioNerds
