GW27-e1217 NEW Mechanism Explaining Fluid overload in patient with diastolic Heart Failure or Heart Failure patient with preserved ejection fraction : When the veins cause hypertension in the artery

The classification is based on the presence fluid overload in 2 compartments of the body: intravenous and extravascular compartment. Because the ejection fraction is normal so the patient should not have hypo-perfusion in the arterial system, unless the patient is over-diuresed. The physical examina...

Description
Summary:The classification is based on the presence fluid overload in 2 compartments of the body: intravenous and extravascular compartment. Because the ejection fraction is normal so the patient should not have hypo-perfusion in the arterial system, unless the patient is over-diuresed. The physical examination was recorded for fluid overload in the venous system, mainly by the presence of rales in the lung and by painful sensation with a minimal punch in the right lower rib cage (which means liver is congested or overloaded with fluid).
