Summary

Predictive value of renal venous flow profiles for adverse outcomes in patients with right heart failure

Detailed description

Persistent congestion with deteriorating renal function is an important cause of adverse outcomes in heart failure. The investigators aimed to characterize new Doppler ultrasonography approaches to evaluate the continuum of renal congestion. Pulmonary hypertension is the most common precursor to right heart failure and thus represents an ideal scenario to study congestion. The second cohort comprises consecutive Cardiology inpatients aged ≥18 years with a new or pre-existing diagnosis of heart failure who are referred to the consultant nephrologist with a history of diuretic-resistant fluid overload and impaired renal function. The investigators choose patients with heart failure to broaden the findings to the most common clinical entity of right ventricular failure.
