Abstract
The article deals with the application of loop diuretics in patients with compensated heart failure - the patients without the signs of fluid retention, when diuretics application doesn't seem undoubted as in case of patients with edema syndrome. We discussed the mechanisms of formation of left ventricular filling high pressure in these patients; the possibility of filling pressure correction and, consequently, the improvement of the functional status of patients using loop diuretics; the advantages of using these loop diuretics under such conditions with additional antifibrotic characteristics of torsemide in comparison with other loop diuretics, as well as with thiazide diuretics.
