Abstract
Three cases are described of severe congestive heart failure which failed to respond to digitalis, high doses of loop diuretics, and converting-enzyme inhibitors. The addition of spironolactone produced a substantial diuresis associated with clinical and radiological improvement in each case. Although a reversible deterioration in renal function was observed, this drug combination represents a therapeutic option in end-stage heart failure.Entities:
