Abnormal central hemodynamics (including elevated intracardiac pressures), neurohormonal activation, and tissue congestion are major causes of symptoms and organ dysfunction in patients with heart failure (HF). 1 There is a tight bidirectional interplay between hemodynamic disturbances and diminished abilities to control ion-water homeostasis, which further contributes to and escalates the clinical manifestation and HF progression. Congestion is a broad clinical term that describes at least 2 different processes: hemodynamic congestion (elevated systemic and pulmonary venous pressures and volumes) and tissue congestion (accumulation of excess water in tissues, or edema). In addition to cardiac dysfunction, hemodynamic congestion is largely determined by 2 primary mechanisms: intravascular volume expansion and vascular tone. Significant weight gain (used as a surrogate of fluid accumulation) has been shown to precede hospitalization for decompensated HF in some studies, but the diagnostic accuracy of the body weight fluctuations as a marker of both congestion and decongestion is poor. 2, 3 Furthermore, a significant increase in intravascular pressure precedes hospitalization frequently in the absence of detectable weight gain. Tissue congestion (eg, edema) on average will increase as hemodynamic congestion worsens (eg, elevation of venous pressures), but the relationship varies within and between patients based on a number of factors including oncotic pressures, capillary permeability, and lymphatic drainage. Despite this complexity, accurate assessment of overall congestion status is obviously of paramount importance in HF, forming the foundation for many of our therapeutic decisions at the bedside.
