Abstract

The size and respiratory variation of inferior vena cava (IVC) is an efficient surrogate of the intravascular volume and is assessed by ultrasound (US). Data exists that IVC status at patient discharge from hospitalization due to heart failure decompensation is a predictor of re-hospitalization. We hypothesize that patients can perform a focused US study on themselves to assess IVC after a brief training on the use of pocket-size US devices (PUD). The data can be used to tailor the medical treatment to the patient.
