The use of diuretics in heart failure with congestion - a position statement from the Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology.

abstract：:Impaired cardiac function is frequently accompanied by peripheral vascular dysfunction and a pro-inflammatory condition, which may be associated with elevated levels of angiotensin II. We hypothesized that the magnitude of flow mediated dilatation (FMD) of the brachial artery of post myocardial infarction patients wil...
