It has therefore been assumed that the CVP is a good indicator of right ventricular preload. Furthermore, as right ventricular stroke volume determines left ventricular filling, the CVP is assumed ...

TIPS insertion results in an increase in the ventricular preload due to the splanchnic blood flow delivered into the systemic circulation. The latter can result in aggravation of the hyperdynamic ...

even a modest decrease in normal renal function in patients with congestive heart failure could contribute to increased cardiac preload, cardiac dilatation, left ventricular hypertrophy and ...
