Blood Volume and Hemodynamic Analysis in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure

Overview

About this study

The primary hypothesis is that patients with HFREF (heart failure with reduced ejection fraction) will demonstrate a markedly expanded intravascular volume which will correlate with elevated right heart hemodynamics and increased venous capacitance parameters, whereas patients with HFPEF(heart failure with preserved ejection fraction) will demonstrate euvolemia to mild volume expansion and a lack of correlation with hemodynamic and venous compliance parameters.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • age >18 years
  • patients identified with heart failure and diagnosed clinically to require right heart hemodynamic evaluation, New York Heart Association functional Class II-IV status/Stage C-D heart failure
  • ischemic or nonischemic etiology heart failure
  • left ventricular ejection fraction measured within 6 months of study enrollment

Exclusion Criteria:

  • known significant intrinsic chronic kidney disease (baseline Glomerular Filtration Rate <15 ml/min/1.73m²) or patients receiving hemodialysis
  • known renal artery stenotic disease
  • females who are pregnant
  • allergy to iodine contrast, intravenous pyelogram dye, shellfish or eggs.
