Review Meta Analysis
Torasemide versus furosemide in treatment of heart failure: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Diuretics are a cornerstone in treatment of heart failure (HF). Torasemide is a loop diuretic with a potential advantage over other diuretics. We aim to meta-analyse and compare the effect of torasemide with furosemide in HF patients. ⋯ Although not all results are statistically significant, torasemide has potential advantages on multiple aspects of HF management when compared with furosemide. More studies are needed to clarify these effects.
