Does supine position compared to upright position improve diuretic response and neurohormonal activation in patients with acutely decompensated heart failure?
Body position (supine vs upright) does not appear to impact diuretic response or neurohormonal activation in AHF patients receiving neurohormonal blockade.
No clinically meaningful differences were found between supine versus upright position patients with AHF, receiving neurohormonal blockade.
Guzik et al. (Sun,) studied this question.
