title: [Value of ultrasonographic examination of the inferior vena cava in congestive heart failure].
abstract: The analysis of 118 ultrasonographies of the vena cava inferior (VCI) in 57 patients with congestive heart failure complicating valvular disease suggested that VCI ultrasonic evaluation may contribute to detection of the greater circulation insufficiency. The VCI calibre increase in the circulatory insufficiency stage IIB and III correlates with elevated venous pressure. Ultrasonic follow-up of the VCI condition may serve a basis for conclusions on the effectiveness of the therapy conducted.
