Summary
The primary objective of this study is to assess whether the urinary sodium/creatinine or
chloride/creatinine ratio might predict successful downtitration of loop diuretics in
patients with stable heart failure without clinical signs of volume overload. In addition,
this study will provide information on loop diuretic efficiency and urinary electrolyte
composition after intake of diuretics in stable outpatients with heart failure.
