May aid risk stratification in acute HF syndromes; leaves open whether volume-guided therapy improves outcomes.
Does plasma volume status predict mortality and cardiac events in patients with acute heart failure syndromes?
Calculated plasma volume status at admission is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality, cardiac mortality, and cardiac events in patients with acute heart failure syndromes.
Yoshihisa et al. (2017) studied this question.
