Implication

PVS may refine mortality risk stratification in chronic HF; hypothesis-generating pending prospective validation.

Structured PICO

Does calculated plasma volume status (PVS) predict mortality and morbid events in patients with chronic heart failure?

Population
119 normal subjects, 30 CHF patients (for validation), 5002 patients from the Val-HeFT trial, and 246 routine CHF outpatients

Calculated relative plasma volume status (PVS) derived from weight and haematocrit

Outcome
Death and first morbid eventshard clinical

Calculated relative plasma volume status (PVS) from simple clinical indices independently predicts mortality and morbid events in chronic heart failure patients.
