Fluid overload in patients undergoing TAVR: what we can learn from the nephrologists.

Aims: Fluid overload (FO) puts aortic stenosis (AS) patients at risk for heart failure (HF) and death. However, conventional FO assessment, including rapid weight gain, peripheral oedema, or chest radiography, is inaccurate. Bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy (BIS) allows objective and reproducible FO quantification, particularly if clinically unapparent.
