Podcast #409: Acute CHF Second Liners

Author: Nick Hatch, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Quick review on typical treatments for acute CHF:
    • Nitrates are a mainstay to reduce preload
    • Furosemide has fallen out of favor in regards to urgency but still essential; it can also be utilized in those with poor renal function
  • Before going into the weeds:
    • Phlebotomy can be used to remove volume and may be helpful in certain clinical scenarios
    • Trapping venous blood by using blood pressure cuffs on three of four extremities was a very early treatment of CHF
