Abstract

Symptoms of pulmonary congestion, resulting from elevated left atrial and left ventricular filling pressures, are the most common cause of heart failure hospitalization. The basic goals of HF therapy are therefore grounded in improving congestion, thereby decreasing hospitalizations and improving outcomes and quality of life in patients with HF. Ongoing evaluation of the patient’s volume status is vital for appropriate selection and monitoring of therapy and prevention of recurrent hospitalizations. This chapter discusses the clinical, laboratory, invasive, and non-invasive tools available for hemodynamic assessment of the heart failure patient.
