Correlation of natriuretic peptides and inferior vena cava size in patients with congestive heart failure

BACKGROUND: The inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter and degree of inspiratory collapse are used as echocardiographic indices in the estimation of right atrial pressure. Brain-natriuretic peptides (BNPs) are established biomarkers of myocardial wall stress. There is no information available regarding t...
