Patients with NYHA FC II-III heart failure will be randomized in a cross-over fashion to 8
weeks of bumetanide versus furosemide therapy (equipotent dose), to test whether bumetanide
therapy has a superior effect on insulin resistance compared to furosemide. Patients will be
subject to a frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test (FSIGT) with minimal model
(MINMOD) analysis to assess insulin resistance and to a 6-minute walk test (6MWT) to assess
functional capacity; patient recruitment and retention success, as well as medication
adherence, will also be assessed.

The main goal of the study is to obtain pharmacokinetic and safety data of bumetanide in
newborns with refractory seizures. The overall hypothesis is that bumetanide, added to
conventional antiepileptic (antiseizure) medications, will be a safe and well tolerated
medication, compared with conventional antiepileptic drugs alone.
