Background Discontinuous intrarenal venous flow patterns, as assessed by renal Doppler
ultrasound examination, are associated with changes in hemodynamics such as volume …

Objectives Renal venous congestion due to backward heart failure leads to disturbance of
renal function in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Whether decongestion …

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 …

Background There is scarce evidence supporting the clinical utility of congestive intrarenal
venous flow (IRVF) patterns in patients with acute heart failure. Objectives This study aims …

Objectives: The goal of this study was to assess: 1) the intrarenal flow in heart failure (HF)
patients during the transition from euvolemia to intravascular volume overload; and 2) the …

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 …

Aims An increase in right atrial pressure is a common feature of acute decompensated heart
failure (ADHF). Such increased pressure leads to persistent kidney congestion. A marker to …

Aims To investigate the relationship between decongestion, central venous pressure, and
risk of worsening renal function (WRF) in patients with acute decompensated heart failure …

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

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 …
