VEXUS Score as a Tool for Guiding Treatment and predicting short term outcome in decompensated Congestive Heart Failure

Minia Journal of Medical Research
Background: Systemic venous congestion is a key pathophysiological mechanism in congestive heart failure and is strongly associated with worsening renal function, diuretic resistance, and adverse clinical outcomes.

Effectiveness of VExUS scores for predicting mortality among patients followed up in the emergency department due to congestive heart failure: a prospective cross-sectional study

BMC Emergency Medicine
Background/Aim Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a major contributor to emergency department (ED) visits and mortality. Traditional diagnostic tools may not fully capture systemic venous congestion, which is a critical factor in CHF prognosis. The Venous

Multimodality Imaging in the Management of Tricuspid Valve Regurgitation

Echocardiography, Volume 41, Issue 10, October 2024.
Proposed algorithm for the role of different imaging modalities in guiding the management of patients with tricuspid valve regurgitation. * In cases of atrial secondary TR and concomitant persistent atrial fibrillation, rhythm control through catheter ablation may be considered as first‐line treatment option.

Optimising flow without congestion using the venous‐arterial Doppler enhanced resuscitation framework

Australasian Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 193-196, August 2024.
Abstract Introduction Ultrasonography as a guide for intravenous (IV) fluid therapy is increasingly accepted within the spheres of acute care. Initial investigations and protocols often focused on measures of arterial flow as an objective approach for personalising organ ‘perfusion.’ More recently, and with literature associating excessive IV fluid ...

Dual doppler dynamics: integrating femoral venous doppler and VExUS for predicting organ dysfunction in acute heart failure

Journal of Anesthesia, Analgesia and Critical Care
Background Heart failure (HF) leads to venous congestion (VC), leading to organ dysfunction. Traditional VC assessments include pulmonary artery catheterization and IVC ultrasound.

Point‐of‐care ultrasound is a useful adjunct tool to a clinician's assessment in the evaluation of severe hyponatraemia

Clinical Endocrinology, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 595-601, June 2024.
Abstract Introduction Hyponatraemia is the most common electrolyte disorder in inpatients resulting mainly from an imbalance in water homeostasis. Intravascular fluid status assessment is pivotal but is often challenging given multimorbidity, polypharmacy and diuretics use. We evaluated the utility of point‐of‐care ultrasound (POCUS) as an adjunct tool

Diastology in the intensive care unit: Challenges for the assessment and future directions

Echocardiography, Volume 41, Issue 2, February 2024.
‐LV diastolic dysfunction is common in critically ill patients and is associated with poor outcomes. ‐Echocardiography is used to assess LV diastolic function and estimate LV filling pressures. ‐Recent American Society of Echocardiography/European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging guidelines do not account for the specificities of the critically ...

Portal Vein Doppler in Venous Congestion: Incremental Value, Dynamic Decongestion Monitoring, and Clinical Decision-Making in Heart Failure [PDF]

Studies in Multidisciplinary Medical Research
Systemic venous congestion in heart failure (HF) is an active driver of organ dysfunction and adverse outcomes. Conventional assessment tools lack sensitivity for subclinical congestion and specificity for venous hypertension.

Interaction of serum heat shock proteins’ levels with the severity of venous congestion in patients with acute decompensated heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Кардиоваскулярная терапия и профилактика
Aim. To analyze the interactions between heat shock proteins (HSPs) (HSP27, HSP70 and cardiovascular HSP — cvHSP) serum levels and acute decompensated heart failure (HF) and signs of venous congestion in patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF ...
