➤ Can diuretics and cardiac drugs help manage cor pulmonale in cystic fibrosis at home?
Diuretics are a mainstay to relieve right‑sided congestion in cor pulmonale. Loop diuretics reduce volume and peripheral edema; potassium‑sparing agents help correct electrolytes. Digoxin or low‑dose cardiac support may be used if ventricular dysfunction exists. Start and adjust these medications with cardiology input to avoid renal dysfunction and hypotension.
