Aims Loop diuretics have become a mainstay of chronic heart failure management. Furosemide and torsemide are the two most common loop diuretics; nevertheless, there is inconsistent evidence regarding the optimal choice of loop diuretic with respect to clinical outcomes. Methods Medline and Cochrane Databases were systemically reviewed for randomized and observational studies comparing patients with chronic heart failure on oral torsemide versus oral furosemide and their association with…

The rapid onset of action and brief effect showed by Furosemide is consistent with what is established in the literature and the slight decrease in post-treatment urinary pH with respect to the basal level, adjusts to the effect of FuroSemide itself and to the expansion effect of the urinary volume.
