In patients with AHF-pEF and suboptimal diuretic response, diuresis and natriuresis are higher with the administration of chlorthalidone over spironolactone. These data don't support the hypothesis that the K/Cr ratio can help guide the choice of thiazide diuretic versus MRA in AHF-pEF patients on loop diuretic.
