Abstract 13532: Comparison of Inferior Vena Cava and Subclavian Vein Collapsibility Index by Ultrasound for Determination of Relative Intravascular Volume in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure
Abstract:Introduction:
Accurate assessment of relative intravascular volume is needed to guide management of acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Current assessments include history and physical examination (specific but not sensitive), and N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) (sensitive but not specific).Ultrasound (US) of inferior vena cava (IVC) collapsibility with respiration is commonly used to assess intravascular volume and right atrial pressure (RAP) but may be technic… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
