Abstract: Objective To confirm the effect of interval usage of furosemide and torasemide in treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF).Methods By simple randomization,the patients were divided into the observe group (interval usage of furosemide and torasemide) and the control group (continuous usage of furosemide).The difference of the efficiency,urine volume, electrolytes and pro-BNP were compared between the two groups.Results The efficiency,urine volume and serum potassium were signifieanlly higher in the observed group than that of the control group (P<0.05).The pro-BNP and the incidence of adverse reactions were significantly lower in the observed group than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The interval usage of furosemide and torasemide could get better curative effect in treatment of CHF.
