The effect of decongestion on intrarenal venous flow patterns in acute heart failure patients
Discontinuous intrarenal venous flow patterns, as assessed by renal Doppler ultrasound, are associated with changes in hemodynamics such as volume expansion and poorer diuretic response in patients with HF. We aimed to study intrarenal venous and arterial flow patterns following decongestive treatment in patients with acute heart failure (HF).
