Pharmacotherapy
Acute Pharmacotherapies
- Administration of digoxin, diuretics, antiarrhythmics and/or preload and afterload reducers per clinical indication
Chronic Pharmacotherapies
A combination of diuretics and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition is currently the standard of care. Digoxin may reduce the frequency of rehospitalization, but does not improve mortality.
