In Cardiovascular disease, the heart of the patient cannot pump enough oxygen and nutrients to meet the body's needs. The chambers of the heart respond by stretching to hold more blood to pump through the body or by becoming stiff and thickened. This helps to keep the blood moving for a short while but, in time, the heart muscle walls weaken and are unable to pump as strongly (2). As a result, the kidneys often respond by causing the body to retain fluid and sodium. If fluid builds up in the organs, the body becomes congested, and congestive heart failure (CHF) is the term used to describe the condition (1). CHF is the cause of significant morbimortality all over the world and its incidence and prevalence are rising. There are a variety of therapy options for CHF, but diuretics play an important role (Acuña C. et. al., 2010).For futher information click on the link below:
