Footnotes spironolactone, administered in low doses, also im-proves survival
Evidence-based beta-blockers should be used: carvedilol, metoprolol succinate, and bisoprolol

This medicine may also be used to treat fluid retention (edema) in patients with congestive heart failure, liver cirrhosis, or a kidney disorder called nephrotic syndrome
5 mg/dL
Specifically in dogs, it is used in the management of myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD)
It has also been used to treat fluid accumulation in the abdomen and may be effective for treating kidney disease or high blood pressure
Moderate to severe heart failure (adjunct) for spironolactone Introduction of ACE inhibitors as standard treatment for patients with moderate to severe CHF in the early 1990s 1 led to a discontinuation of the formerly established spironolactone therapy in those patients
Based on the results of the TOPCAT (Treatment of Preserved Cardiac Function Heart Failure with an Aldosterone Antagonist Trial), 1 clinical guidelines now support use of spironolactone to reduce heart failure (HF) hospitalization in patients with HF and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)

It also discusses the potential benefits of novel diuretic strategies and biomarkers to Spironolactone tablets come in strengths of 12

high cardiac output and ↓ systemic vascular resistance
Methods: Using Fine-Gray´s competing risk regression, we compared the clinical outcomes of 293 patients with chronic HF and left ventricular ejection fraction Background: Spironolactone reduces morbidity and mortality in patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (EF) and decreases hospitalizations in HF with preserved EF
Spironolactone for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
Regional variation in patients and outcomes in the Treatment of Preserved Cardiac Function Heart Failure With an Aldosterone Antagonist (TOPCAT) trial
The prognostic implications of spironolactone-associated WRF in HFpEF patients are not well understood
Aldactone also is used to counteract the effects of excessive adrenal aldosterone production (hyperaldosteronism Spironolactone may also be called a potassium-sparing diuretic
Spironolactone / pharmacology
Cardiovascular therapies with proven benefit are often withheld from patients with renal disease The risks of all‐cause death and hospitalization for heart failure in patients with HFpEF with resistant hypertension were significantly lower in the spironolactone group than in the placebo group (HR for all‐cause death, 0
72; 95% CI, 0
Spironolactone tablets are an aldosterone antagonist indicated for: • The treatment of NYHA Class III-IV heart failure and reduced ejection fraction to increase survival, manage edema, and to reduce the need for hospitalization for heart failure ( 1
Farquharson CAJ, Struthers AD: Spironolactone increases nitric oxide bioactivity, improves endothelial vasodilator dysfunction, and suppresses vascular angiotensin I/angiotensin II conversion in patients with chronic heart failure
This observational prospective cohort study enrolled patients hospitalized at the University Hospital Center Split because of heart failure (HF)
Recent research on this older diuretic has focused on its effect in patients with left-sided congestive heart failure (CHF)
Spironolactone promotes magnesium and potassium retention, increases uptake of myocardial norepinephrine, attenuates formation of myocardial fibrosis, and decreases
This study was a secondary analysis of the TOPCAT (Treatment of Preserved Cardiac Function Heart Failure With an Aldosterone Antagonist) trial
spironolactone, administered in low doses, also im-proves survival
Heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (EF) is associated with maladaptive activation of mineralocorticoid receptors by aldosterone
