Torsemide vs Furosemide: Impact on Heart Failure Patients

JAMA Network

About The Study: Among patients discharged after hospitalization for heart failure (HF), de novo HF was associated with better clinical and patient-reported outcomes when compared with worsening chronic HF in this randomized clinical trial including 2,858 patients. Regardless of HF type, there was no significant difference between torsemide and furosemide with respect to 12-month clinical or patient-reported outcomes.
