Background Persistent congestion with deteriorating renal function is an important cause of
adverse outcomes in heart failure. We aimed to characterize new approaches to evaluate …

Background It has been recently reported that the renal venous stasis index (RVSI)
assessed by renal Doppler ultrasonography provides information to stratify pulmonary …

The development of venous congestion in patients with heart failure (HF) is established as
one of the main pathophysiological determinants of morbidity and mortality. 1, 2 Recently …

Background The impact of changes in Doppler‐derived kidney venous flow in heart failure
(HF) is not well studied. We aimed to investigate the association of Doppler‐derived kidney …

Aim of the study: In chronic heart failure (CHF) patients, renal congestion plays a key role in
determining the progression of renal dysfunction and a worse prognosis. The aim of this …

Objectives: This study clarified the characteristics of intrarenal Doppler ultrasonography
(IRD) profiles and their prognostic implications in heart failure (HF). Background: IRD can …

We aimed to clarify clinical implications of intrarenal hemodynamics assessed by intrarenal
Doppler ultrasonography (IRD) and their prognostic impacts in heart failure (HF). We …

Renal dysfunction (RD) and venous congestion are related and common in heart failure
(HF). Studies suggest that venous congestion may be the primary driver of RD in HF. In this …

Background It remains unclear whether intrarenal venous flow (IRVF) patterns in patients
with heart failure (HF) could change over the clinical course, and whether the changes could …

Organ dysfunction in the setting of heart failure is mainly determined by backward
transmission of increased right atrial pressure. Although traditional point-of-care ultrasound …
