Role of Antiplatelet Therapy and Anticoagulation in Nonischemic Cardiomyopathy.

abstract：:Loop diuretics are central to the management of fluid overload in acute decompensated heart failure. However, a variance in the response to loop diuretics can alter a patient's clinical course and has an adverse effect on clinical outcomes. Thus, a diminished response to loop diuretics is an important clinical issue. ...
