Splanchnic blood volume quantification may refine heart failure volume assessment; this case-control study leaves open causal role and clinical adoption.
Does splanchnic blood volume differ between patients with congestive heart failure and control subjects?
This study aims to quantify the contribution of splanchnic blood volume to the increased total blood volume observed in congestive heart failure.
Rapaport et al. (1958) studied this question.
