Characterization of monitoring factors indicating acute worsening of chronic heart failure
Not Applicable
- Conditions
- Chronic heart failure
- Registration Number
- JPRN-UMIN000027534
- Lead Sponsor
- Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine
- Brief Summary
Body weight, blood pressure, pulse rate, and serum BNP level were higher at the onset of uncompensated heart failure and improved by medical treatment at the recovered status. The body weight was significantly associated with serum BNP level as well as echocardiographic indices such as %FS, IVS dimension, and TR-pressure gradient. There, daily monitoring of body weight was useful for the patients with heart failure to recognize the worsening of heart failure.
