Spironolactone in heart failure--a revived role for an old drug
Intensive Crit Care Nurs.
2000 Dec.
Abstract
Spironolactone is an aldosterone antagonist which has been used as a mild potassium-sparing diuretic and in treatment of ascites in liver failure. Recent studies have shown that it has an additive effect to those of ACE inhibitors in heart failure treatment.
