Objectives: We sought to investigate the relationship between increased central venous
pressure (CVP), renal function, and mortality in a broad spectrum of cardiovascular patients …

It is well known that the heart and kidney and their synergy is essential for hemodynamic
homeostasis. Since the early XIX century it has been recognized that cardiovascular and …

Objectives: To determine whether venous congestion, rather than impairment of cardiac
output, is primarily associated with the development of worsening renal function (WRF) in …

Aims To determine the relationship between central venous pressure (CVP) and renal
function in patients with acute heart failure (AHF) presenting to the emergency department …

Acute kidney injury (AKI) in cardiac surgery has traditionally been linked to reduced arterial
perfusion. There is ongoing evidence that central venous pressure (CVP) has a pivotal role …

Longstanding experimental evidence supports the role of renal venous hypertension in
causing kidney dysfunction and “congestive renal failure.” A focus has been heart failure, in …

Background Some prior studies have shown that elevated mean central venous pressure in
certain patient populations and disease processes may lead to poor prognosis. However …

Background Renal failure in heart failure is related to decreased cardiac output. However,
little is known about its association with venous congestion. Aims To investigate the …

Background. Blood pressure shows an inverse association with mortality in patients with
chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis. It is unclear if the same phenomenon exists in …

Recent reports have demonstrated the adverse effects of venous congestion on renal
function (RF) and challenged the assumption that worsening RF is driven by decreased …
