Abstract Conventional parameters for assessment of fluid status suffer from several limitations. IVC maybe chronically dilated in patients with pulmonary hypertension. Portal vein Doppler offers an additional data point to assess the severity of venous congestion as well as monitor the efficacy of decongestive therapy.
