Background And Objective: The aim of our study is to define the role of Pulsed-Doppler (PW-Doppler) Ultrasound of the Common Femoral Vein (CFV) in the assessment of dilatation Inferior Vena Cava (IVC), probability of Pulmonary Hypertension (PH), Tricuspid Regurgitation (TR), and Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE).
Methods: This is a prospective two-hospital study in 74 patients admitted with acute heart failure (AHF). We performed PW-Doppler ultrasound of the common femoral vein, Point of Care (POC) cardiac ultrasonography and assessment of the IVC at the time of admission, as well as PW-Doppler and ultrasound of the IVC at hospital discharge.
