[Use of aldactone-saltucine in patients with heart failure].
Aldactone-saltucine was used in 52 patients with Stage IIB-III cardiac failure. The efficiency of the drug was evaluated by the dynamics of the clinical course, diuresis, body weight, blood and urine levels of electrolytes, and in some patients by the urine excretion of aldosterone. Aldactone-saltucine is a sufficiently effective diuretic agent that, without producing excessively fast diuresis, exerts after a course of therapy a beneficial effect, increasing mainly natriuresis, without concomitant hypokalemia. The diuretic effect of the drug ensued irrespectful of the initial level of urine aldosterone excretion. After a course of treatment urine aldosterone excretion tended to increase. Hyperaldosteronuria was noted in only 1/3 of the patients.
