Key result
Peripheral venous pressure highly correlates with CVP in acute heart failure within ~0.4 mm Hg.
Why the study?
Accurate assessment of volume status is essential for diagnosis and guidance of decongestive therapy in acute heart failure, but the relationship between peripheral venous pressure and central hemodynamic measurements is unclear.
Does peripheral venous pressure (PVP) measurement correlate with central venous pressure (CVP) in patients hospitalized with acute heart failure?
Population
30 patients hospitalized with acute heart failure syndrome
Comparison
Peripheral venous pressure vs central venous pressure and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure
Design
Single-center prospective observational study

Does peripheral venous pressure (PVP) measurement correlate with central venous pressure (CVP) in patients hospitalized with acute heart failure?
Effect estimate: r=0.947
Peripheral venous pressure demonstrates a high correlation with central venous pressure in acute heart failure, suggesting it may be a useful bedside tool for volume status assessment.
Sperry et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (n=30). Peripheral venous pressure (PVP) measurement vs. Central venous pressure (CVP) measurement was evaluated on Correlation between peripheral venous pressure and central venous pressure (r=0.947). Peripheral venous pressure measurement was highly correlated with central venous pressure in patients hospitalized with acute heart failure (r=0.947, mean difference 0.4 mm Hg).
