Background Peripheral venous pressure (PVP) has been shown to be a reliable surrogate for right atrial pressure in assessing congestion in patients with heart failure (HF). Liver fibrosis markers and scores can be useful in assessing organ injury in patients with acute HF. This study aimed to investigate the association of liver fibrosis markers an...

Background: Hemodynamic disturbance in heart failure (HF) induces extra-cardiac organ injury. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in patients with HF. The relationship between AF and organ injury in HF remains unclear. We investigated the relationship between AF and the liver fibrosis marker, type IV collagen 7S (P4NP 7S) in patients with HF. Meth...

Background: Congestion is a major cause of hospitalization for heart failure (HF). Peripheral venous pressure (PVP) strongly correlates with right atrial pressure. We recently reported that high PVP at discharge portends a poor prognosis in patients hospitalized for HF. In the same population, we aimed to analyze changes in PVP after discharge and...
Article
Aims Congestion is the major cause of hospitalization for heart failure (HF). Traditional bedside assessment of congestion is limited by insufficient accuracy. Peripheral venous pressure (PVP) has recently been shown to accurately predict central venous congestion. We examined the association between PVP before discharge and post-discharge outcomes...
Article
Background Accurate bedside assessment of congestion in the management of patients with heart failure remains challenging. As a continuous conduit of circulating fluid, systemic congestion represented by high right atrial pressure (RAP) may be reflected by peripheral venous pressure (PVP). We evaluated the reliability of PVP measurements for assess...

... These findings suggest that Afib patients have an increased risk of elevated liver enzymes. Additionally, a recent study has identified persistent Afib as a significant factor associated with elevated liver fibrosis markers [48]. However, research examining the mechanism underlying the effects of Afib on hepatotoxicity is lacking, underscoring the need for further investigation. ...
... Therefore, PVP may serve as a useful method for accurately assessing congestion in both inpatient and outpatient settings. 21 Elevated venous pressure in AHF can result in passive congestion in the liver, which can cause liver dysfunction. 22,23 Recent investigations have explored several liver fibrosis markers and scores, commonly used to assess the severity of chronic liver diseases, in patients with HF for prognostic prediction. ...
... 17 Moreover, in hospitalized patients with AHF, PVP has been shown to be associated with adverse postdischarge outcomes. 20 Importantly, PVP measurement, unlike RHC, is minimally invasive and can be performed at the bedside. Therefore, PVP may serve as a useful method for accurately assessing congestion in both inpatient and outpatient settings. ...
... [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Recent studies have also demonstrated a robust association between PVP and RAP or central venous pressure obtained through right heart catheterization (RHC) in patients with heart failure (HF), cardiac transplant, Fontan circulation, and patients with left ventricular (LV) assist device. [14][15][16][17][18][19] PVP has been shown to have superior predictive capabilities for RAP compared with conventional bedside examinations, including physical examinations, laboratory tests, and imaging modalities. 17 Moreover, in hospitalized patients with AHF, PVP has been shown to be associated with adverse postdischarge outcomes. ...
