Article Abstract
These preliminary findings suggest that long-term furosemide therapy may be associated with clinically significant thiamine deficiency due to urinary loss and contribute to impaired cardiac performance in patients with CHF.This deficit may be prevented or corrected by appropriate thiamine supplements.
