Abstract：Objective To explore the clinical effect difference of Torasemide and Furosemide in treating chronic heart failure. Methods 84 patients in our hospital who suffered from chronic heart failure from January to December in 2014 were randomly selected and divided into two groups, Torasemide group and Furosemide group, with 42 patients in each group. The clinical effects of the two groups were compared. Results After the course of treatment, the total effective rate of Torasemide group was 92. 9%, apparently higher than that of Furosemide group, which was 81. 0% (P<0. 05). 24h urinary volume and Potassium levels of Torasemide group were obviously higher than those of Furosemide group (P<0. 05). The incidence rate of adverse drug reactions of Torasemide group was 11. 9%, apparently lower than that of Furosemide group, which was 28. 6% (P<0. 05). Conclusion Torasemide can not only im-prove the heart failure, increase urinary output and reduce body mass, but also it has a great medical effect on maintaining potassium and getting rid of sodium. Besides, it has high drug security.
