Hemodynamic Changes in Intrarenal Blood Flow are Associated With Poor Prognosis in Patients With Acute Decompensated Heart Failure

To evaluate a potential role of different patterns of intrarenal blood flow using Doppler ultrasound as a part of determining the severity of venous congestion, predicting impairment of renal function and an unfavorable prognosis in patients with acute decompensated chronic heart failure (ADCHF).
