Introduction And Aim: Assessing decongestion in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is challenging, requiring multiple parameters and often remaining imprecise. The study aimed to investigate the utility of indirectly estimating plasma variation (∆ePVS) for evaluating decongestion in ADHF patients in relation to natriuretic peptides.
Materials And Methods: This prospective, observational, single-center study included 111 patients (mean age 74 years, 40% female) hospitalized with ADHF and treated with intravenous diuretics along with optimized medical therapy.
