DOI: 10.1002/ejhf.1158
Abstract: Mechanical ultrafiltration (UF) involves the removal of an iso‐osmotic filtrate from the blood. Its benefit in acute decompensated heart failure, however, remains inconclusive. We sought to better understand the direct effects of UF in comparison… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ahj.2018.07.019
Abstract: Introduction Worsening renal function (WRF) can occur throughout a hospitalization for acute heart failure (HF). However, decongestion can be measured in different ways and the prognostic implications of WRF in the setting of different measures… read more here.

DOI: 10.1161/circulationaha.122.062486
Abstract: Background: Acetazolamide inhibits proximal tubular sodium reabsorption and improved decongestion in the ADVOR (Acetazolamide in Decompensated Heart Failure with Volume Overload) trial. It remains unclear whether the decongestive effects of acetazolamide differ across the spectrum… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.933384
Abstract: Congestion is the single most important contributor to heart failure (HF) decompensation. Most of the excess volume in patients with HF resides in the interstitial compartment. Inadequate decongestion implies persistent interstitial congestion and is associated… read more here.
