“…The vertical height of the meniscus was measured from the sternal notch with 5 cm added for a measurement of JVD in cm H20. If the meniscus could not be identified at 451, then the patient was reclined until it could be identified and measured [5,6]. If the patient could not tolerate being reclined but the meniscus could be identified with the patient sitting upright, then it was identified and measured with the patient upright [5,6].…”

“…If the meniscus could not be identified at 451, then the patient was reclined until it could be identified and measured [5,6]. If the patient could not tolerate being reclined but the meniscus could be identified with the patient sitting upright, then it was identified and measured with the patient upright [5,6]. As with measurements of JVD on physical examination [1,7], the anatomic position of the IJ relative to the sternal notch and right atrium allows for comparable estimates of JVD with all three positions and US-JVD greater than or equal to 8 cm H20 was considered positive for elevated jugular venous pressure.…”

“…US-JVD was done using either an Aloka SSD 1400 (Aloka Ultrasound, Tokyo, Japan) with a 7.5-MHz linear array probe or a Siemens Sonoline G60S (Siemens Medical Solutions Inc., Malvern, Pennsylvania, USA) with a 10-MHz linear array probe and consisted of transverse or longitudinal views of the neck for identification of the internal jugular vein (IJ) and common carotid artery with the patient reclined at 451 [5,6]. Once the vessels were identified, the IJ meniscus level was identified with the patient at end-expiration using either the transverse or longitudinal views.…”

“…Ultrasonographic assessment of JVD (US-JVD) was earlier described as a rapid, accurate test that can be done at the bedside to identify the patients with acute CHF [5]. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to prospectively assess the sensitivity and specificity of US-JVD for identifying pulmonary oedema on CXR in dyspnoeic patients with suspected CHF.…”

“…Otras causas de ingurgitación yugular diferentes a IC son taponamiento cardiaco, pericarditis constrictiva, insuficiencia cardiaca derecha, infarto del ventrículo derecho, valvulopatía tricúspidea, tumores mediastinicos [74] y síndrome de vena cava superior, pero todas estas patologías cursan sin disnea paroxística nocturna [75]. La IY puede ser difícil de observar en pacientes obesos o con cuello corto [76].…”

Resumen: la insuficiencia cardiaca es un síndrome clínico de etiología multifactorial de alta prevalencia en la población mundial y latinoamericana debido al aumento en la expectativa de vida. Actualmente el diagnóstico de este se basa en los hallazgos de pruebas diagnósticas como el ecocardiograma o pépticos natriuréticos, pero es importante para el personal médico conocer e identificar de manera clara los signos y síntomas que presentan los pacientes con insuficiencia cardiaca, pues es una tendencia actual el desconocer datos semiológicos importantes que fueron descritos y refinados durante los siglos XIX y XX, y que ahora son validados por la medicina basada en la evidencia. Lo anterior cobra importancia pues el papel que debe tener la creciente tecnología no es acabar o desplazar el conocimiento clínico, si no ser una herramienta complementaria para el buen cuidado del paciente y así llegar al mejor desenlace posible.Este artículo pretende brindar datos basados en la evidencia para hacer de la clínica la parte fundamental del proceso diagnóstico y de la relación médico paciente. También intenta ser una guía útil para estudiantes de medicina o médicos que se desenvuelven en sitios con pocos recursos económicos, ya que la elección adecuada de un examen diagnóstico solo puede ser llevada a cabo mediante un buen interrogatorio y examen físico.Palabras clave: insuficiencia cardiaca; Diagnóstico; Signos y Síntomas; Colombia Copyright © Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud de la Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira. 1995-2017. Todos los derechos reservados ® Semiology and differential diagnosis of chronic heart failure Abstract: heart failure is a clinical syndrome with multifactorial etiology of high prevalence in the world and Latin American population due to the increase in life expectancy. Currently the diagnosis of this is based on the findings of diagnostic tests such as echocardiogram or natriuretic peptic, but it is important for the medical staff to know and clearly identify the signs and symptoms that patients with heart failure present, as it is a current trend To ignore important semiological data that were described and refined during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and which are now validated by evidencebased medicine. This is important because the role of growing technology is not to end or displace clinical knowledge, if not to be a complementary tool for good patient care and thus reach the best possible outcome.This article aims to provide data based on the evidence to make the clinic the fundamental part of the diagnostic process and the patient medical relationship. It is also intended to be a useful guide for medical students or physicians operating in poorly funded areas, as the proper choice of a diagnostic examination can only be carried out through a thorough examination and physical examination.Key words: heart failure; Diagnosis; Signs and Symptoms; Colombia Copyright © Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud de la Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira. 1995-2017.
