Vlismas PP, Wiesenfeld E, Oh KT, et al. - Researchers performed this prospective, cross-sectional study among heart failure (HF), heart transplant (HTx), and left ventricular assist device (LVAD) patients receiving right heart catheterization, to determine the correlation between peripheral venous pressure (PVP) and central venous pressure (CVP) in these patient groups. Sixty percent of patients suffered from HF, 30% were HTx patients, and 10% were LVAD patients. The mean PVP and the mean CVP were found to be 9.4 ± 5.3 mm Hg and 9.2 ± 5.8 mm Hg, respectively. Findings revealed that HF, HTx, and LVAD patients demonstrated a high degree of correlation between PVP and CVP. In these patient groups, PVP measurements can be employed as a rapid, dependable, noninvasive estimate of volume status.
