All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing furosemide and torasemide in HF patients were included and meta\u2010analysed. We assessed the risk of bias using Cochrane Collaboration's tool.

There was a significant difference between torasemide 20 mg and furosemide 40 mg in increasing the urine volume (standard difference of the mean (SDM) [95% confidence interval] = \u22120.78 [\u22121.52 to \u22120.053], <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .036). Torasemide 10 mg and 10 to 20 mg have a significant effect on potassium excretion in comparison with furosemide 25 to 40 mg (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .018 and .023, respectively). In general, torasemide and furosemide have no significant difference in mortality, edema improvement, weight loss, heart rate, and reducing systolic\/diastolic blood pressure.
