Measure
Eplerenone
Eplerenone is an aldosterone antagonist used as an adjunct in the management of chronic heart failure. It is marketed under the trade name Inspra. Eplerenone is a potassium-sparing diuretic. Eplerenone: 26 Subjects will take Eplerenone, one 50mg capsule by mouth once daily for 12 months.
Spironolactone
Spironolactone is an aldosterone antagonist used as an adjunct in the management of chronic heart failure. It is marketed under the trade name Aldactone. Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic. Spironolactone: 26 Subjects will take Spironolactone, one 50mg capsule by mouth once daily for 12 months.
