Patient's question:
I am a healthcare trainee. Could you please advise on a few techniques? Hello, for a patient with mild fluid retention accompanied by hypertension but normal renal function, what diuretic should be selected for heart failure?Doctor's answer:
Fluid retention is a clinical manifestation in patients with multiple organ failure and acute myocardial infarction. The heart, due to disease, overexertion, or weakened ejection function, fails to meet the metabolic needs of organs and tissues in terms of blood output. Hypertensive patients should choose appropriate drug treatments based on their individual conditions. Ideal antihypertensive drugs should be long-acting, capable of stable blood pressure control, have high safety and minimal side effects, while also protecting target organs such as the heart, blood vessels, and kidneys.
