Background Bioimpedance-based estimates of fluid overload have been widely studied and
systematically reviewed in populations of those undergoing dialysis, but data from …

Background There is a need to detect and prevent fluid overload and malnutrition in heart
failure. Bioelectrical impedance analysis and bioelectrical impedance vector analysis are …

A growing amount of evidence prompts us to update the first version of recommendations for
lung ultrasound in internal medicine (POLLUS-IM) that was published in 2018. The …

Pulmonary congestion is a critical finding in patients with heart failure (HF) that can be
quantified by lung ultrasound (LUS) through B-line quantification, the latter of which can be …

Background. Recently lung ultrasound (LUS) based on B-lines measurement has been
proposed as an effective tool for assessment of pulmonary congestion (PC) in patients with …

Systemic congestion is one of the mechanisms involved in acute decompensated heart
failure (ADHF). Increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), elicited by abdominal congestion …

Abstract Purpose of the Review An efficient diuretic response is vital during cardiac
decompensation in heart failure (HF) patients. The increase in intra-abdominal pressure …

Determining body contents such as body water volume and body cell mass have significant
uses in health and disease. Accumulation of extracellular water is particularly difficult to …

Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is considered a major health care
problem with frequent decompensations, high hospitalization and mortality rates. In severe …

Aims Residual congestion at the time of hospital discharge is an important readmission risk
factor, and its detection with physical examination and usual diagnostic techniques have …
