What is the role of diuretics in the prevention of heart failure?
The role of diuretics in the prevention of heart failure is supported by a study from the Antihypertensive and Lipid-Lowering Treatment to Prevent Heart Attack Trial Collaborative Research Group. The study found that diuretics can reduce the risk of cardiovascular events and lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Additionally, the study showed that diuretics can reduce the risk of heart failure in patients with hypertension and high cardiovascular risk.
