Subclinical Myocardial Injury and the Phenotype of Clinical Congestion in Patients With Heart Failure and Reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction.

Background: Clinical congestion is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure. The pathophysiological mediators of this association remain uncertain.

Methods And Results: We prospectively enrolled a cohort of patients with heart failure and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and performed a detailed clinical examination followed on the same day by an invasive right heart catheterization and blood sampling for biomarkers.

Feasibility of Remote Video Assessment of Jugular Venous Pressure and Implications for Telehealth.

This study examines the concordance of jugular venous pressure assessments taken at the bedside vs remotely and compares these with invasively measured right atrial pressure.
