Heart failure in the elderly
Singapore Medical Journal
|October 1, 1991
Abstract:
Heart failure commonly occurs in the elderly age group. Treatment mainly centres on the use of digoxin and diuretics. In intractable heart failure other agents ie inotropic agents and vasodilators may be considered. Routine maintenance on diuretic and digoxin should not be encouraged. A conscious effort to tail off these medication is needed.
