RAAS Optimization for Acute CHF Patients
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Acute Decompensated Heart Failure
In brief
Holding ACEI/ARBs during initial 72 hours of admission with acute decompensated heart failure may help preserve renal function with a lesser decline in GFR. This treatment modification will also allow the option of aggressive diuresis in volume overloaded CHF patients which should result in a lesser decline of AKI, length of stay, readmission rates, and cost associated with CHF treatment.
