| | Spironolactone for heart failure |
| | Nowadays, the use of beta-blockers in heart failure is consistently increasing and it remains to be proved whether spironolactone adds incremental benefit beyond that of a combination of ACEI and beta-blocker to standard digitalis and diuretic therapy. | | | However, I'm not sure that spironolactone would be likely to have more or less of an effect in patients in fibrillation, so even if the groups were unbalanced in this regard, I don't think it would have affected the outcome. | | | The article referred to by Dr. Kaiser is a retrospective study of patients enrolled in SOLVD and found that use of non-potassium sparing diuretics, but not potassium-sparing diuretics, was associated with an increased risk of arrhythmic death. |
