Brief Summary  

Heart failure (HF) remains a major public health concern, affecting millions of individuals worldwide and contributing significantly to morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Echocardiography is the cornerstone imaging modality for evaluating cardiac structure and function in HF patients.

VExUS serves as a valuable bedside tool for assessing venous congestion, utilizing measurements such as IVC diameter, hepatic vein Doppler, portal vein pulsatility, and renal vein Doppler to define venous congestion. Also  it has been reported that bedside measurements can be used to assess tricuspid annular systolic velocity (S prime or S’) derived from Tissue Doppler Imaging(TDI).

Hence, we propose to study the efficacy of RV function by using S’ in predicting venous congestion in heart failure patients admitted to Cardiac Critical care Unit (CCU). Additionally, our aim is to investigate the relationship between the extent of venous congestion assessed using VExUS and S’.
