Una grandísima revisión de "Manejo de falla cardíaca descompensada" en JACC 2026. Puntos importantes actualizados:
🟠 Se añaden umbrales confirmatorios de falla: BNP >400 ng/L o NT-proBNP ajustado por edad (>450 ng/L en <50 años; >900 ng/L en 50-75 años)
🟠 Dosis inicial de furosemida — antes: 1-2.5 veces la dosis oral previa. Ahora: 40 mg IV en pacientes sin diurético, y si ya usaba: ≥80 mg IV o dos veces la dosis oral.
🟠 Ahora se sugiere valorar a las 2 horas buscando: uresis ≥300 mL o Na urinario ≥70–80 mmol/L.
🟠 Si hay resistencia ahora se sugiere duplicar el bolo hasta 250 mg de furosemida, considerar acetazolamida o tiazida.
🟠 Ahora se sugiere secuenciación temprana para usar iSGLT-2, ARM (como Espironolactona), ARNI, betabloqueador antes del alta.

Understanding Diastolic Dysfunction with Doppler Echocardiography
This chart beautifully compares Doppler findings in normal vs. varying grades of LV diastolic dysfunction from inflow (E/A, DT) to tissue Doppler (E′/A′), pulmonary vein flow, LA volume, and TR velocity.
