Impact of tolvaptan add-on treatment on patients with heart failure requiring long-term congestion management: A retrospective cohort study using a medical claim database in Japan

CONCLUSIONS: Tolvaptan did not significantly affect time to HF rehospitalization. However, further worsening of the condition leading to death may be delayed, and time to in-hospital death may be prolonged in patients treated with tolvaptan, indicating its usefulness for long-term congestion management.PMID:36587792 | DOI:10.1016/j.jjcc.2022.12.006
