title: Diuretics in the prevention and treatment of congestive heart failure.
abstract: Diuretics, either as monotherapy or in combination with other drugs in the management of hypertension, have retarded the development of left ventricular hypertrophy and congestive heart failure in many patients. Diuretics also remain one of the most effective therapies in the treatment of congestive heart failure, when given with an ACE inhibitor and digoxin.
