This is a randomized double-blind crossover study of the patients with stable heart failure, who are taking a loop diuretic. During the study period, the participants' loop diuretics will be replaced by the equivalent dose of immediate release/extended release torsemide for one week. After a one week period, they will report to the site and will receive a single dose of either immediate release or extended release Torsemide. The sodium excretion will be measured for six hours after dosing and for an additional six hours after a high salt lunch.
