Recently, a substudy of the CLOROTIC trial showed that combination diuretic and thiazide therapy is safe and effective for the entire spectrum of renal function.14 Acetazolamide Acetazolamide (ACZ) is a diuretic that acts on the proximal convoluted tubule and blocks the action of carbonic anhydrase, which converts carbon dioxide and water into carbonic acid.2 ACZ therapy has been evaluated in patients with acute congestive HF who are refractory to diuretic therapy.2 The most robust and recent evidence is derived from the ADVOR clinical trial, which randomized 519 patients with AHF and evidence of fluid overload.15 In that study, the addition of intravenous ACZ to loop diuretic therapy improved decongestion, natriuresis, and diuresis in the short term but failed to decrease hospitalizations and mortality in the long term.15 In this way, intravenous ACV (500mg/d) could be considered in patients with AHF in conjunction with intensive treatment with loop diuretics
