Does estimated systemic vascular resistance (eSVR) predict high-output cardiac failure hospitalizations in patients with high-flow arteriovenous fistula?
Routine eSVR screening using non-invasive Doppler echocardiography may help expedite the diagnosis of high-output cardiac failure in patients with high-flow AV access.
In patients with high-flow AV access, low eSVR values obtained through non-invasive Doppler echocardiography were associated with a high rate of HOCF hospitalizations. Therefore, routine eSVR screening in these patients might expedite the diagnosis of HOCF.
