The systemic venous side of the circulation has long been forgotten as an important
component of the circulatory system. The concept of preload responsiveness justified …

AN ACCURATE ASSESSMENT OF THE VENOUS PRESSURE IS CRUCIAL TO OPTIMIZE
FLUID MANAGEMENT IN patients with heart failure. Although evaluation of the inferior vena …

Venous excess ultrasound score (VExUS) is a recently described ultrasound-based scoring
system that quantifies systemic congestion using Doppler flow indices of the hepatic and …

Background Venous excess ultrasound (VExUS) is a novel ultrasound technique previously
reported as a noninvasive measure of venous congestion and predictor of cardiorenal acute …

The importance of functional right ventricular failure and resultant splanchnic venous
congestion has long been under-appreciated and is difficult to assess by traditional physical …

Congestive nephropathy is kidney dysfunction caused by the impact of elevated venous
pressures on renal hemodynamics. As a part of cardiorenal syndrome, the diagnosis is …

Venous congestion is an under-recognized contributor to mortality in critically ill patients.
Unfortunately, venous congestion is difficult to measure, and right heart catheterization …

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 …

The role of venous congestion in abnormal kidney function is being increasingly recognized.
It is well known that unresolved congestion is associated with adverse kidney and overall …

Aims Systemic venous congestion is associated with an increased risk of acute kidney injury
(AKI) in critically ill patients. Venous Excess Ultrasound Score (VExUS) has been proposed …
