Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigated the effectiveness of body composition analysis (BCA) using bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) to monitor hydration levels in patients with acute heart failure (AHF) during diuretic treatment.
  • - A total of 867 BCA and BIVA assessments were made on 142 patients, showing significant correlations between changes in total body water (TBW) and body weight, indicating BCA's reliability in tracking hydration status.
  • - The findings suggest that BIVA, particularly regarding extracellular water (ECW), could be a valuable tool for personalized monitoring of hydration in patients receiving aggressive diuretic therapy.
