Ultrafiltration for acute decompensated cardiac failure: A systematic review and meta-analysis (2016)
Journal Article
Davies, & Mamas. (2016). Ultrafiltration for acute decompensated cardiac failure: A systematic review and meta-analysis. International Journal of Cardiology, 122-128. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijcard.2016.11.136

Background
Ultrafiltration is a method used to achieve diuresis in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) when there is diuretic resistance, but its efficacy in other settings is unclear. We therefore conducted a systematic review and meta-analysi... Read More about Ultrafiltration for acute decompensated cardiac failure: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
