TLDR
Torsemide use was associated with significant more improvement in functional status and lower cardiac mortality; and numerically fewer hospitalizations in patients with heart failure; and there was no difference in all-cause mortality or medication side effects between the 2 groups.Abstract:
While torsemide's oral bioavailability and half-life theoretically render it a more efficient diuretic than furosemide, the clinical outcomes of torsemide compared with furosemide remain unclear. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis, including all published studies that compared torsemide and furosemide use in heart failure patients from January 1996 through August 2019. Nineteen studies (9 randomized control trials (RCTs) and 10 observational studies) with a total of 19,280 patients were included. During a mean follow-up duration of 15 months, torsemide was associated with a numerically lower risk of hospitalization due to heart failure (10.6% vs. 18.4%; odds ratio (OR) 0.72, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.51, 1.03), p=0.07, I2=18%; number needed to treat (NNT) =23) compared with furosemide. Torsemide was associated with statistically significant more improvement in functional status from New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III/IV to I/II (72.5% vs. 58%; OR 2.32, 95% CI (1.32, 4.1), p=0.004, I2=27%; NNT=5) and lower risk of cardiac mortality (1.5% vs. 4.4%; OR 0.37, 95% CI (0.20, 0.66), pread more

Home Therapies in Advanced Heart Failure: Inotropes and Diuretics
Jason P Graffagnino,Jason P Graffagnino,Leslie C Avant,Leslie C Avant,Bethany C Calkins,Keith M. Swetz,Keith M. Swetz +6 more
TL;DR: Ambulatory use of diuretics and inotropes may improve patients’ QOL through symptom management and reduced hospitalizations, however, risks and limitations of both modalities must be considered as treatment decisions are made.

Optimizing Guideline-directed Medical Therapies for Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction During Hospitalization
TL;DR: A practical guide for the implementation of these four pillars of GDMT during a hospitalization for acute heart failure: renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors with or without a neprilysin inhibitor, β-blockers, mineralocorticoid-receptor-antagonists, and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the outcomes of an ambulatory diuresis clinic in the management of congestion related to cardiac amyloidosis (CA) and showed that using a multidisciplinary outpatient clinic may reduce acute care utilization in patients with CA.
