Abstract 10014: Prognostic Value of the Combination of Aortic Pulsatility Index and Fibrosis-4 Index in Patients Admitted for Acute Decompensated Heart Failure

Backgrounds: Aortic pulsatility index (API), calculated as (systolic - diastolic blood pressure)/pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, is a novel hemodynamic measurement representing cardiac filling pressures, and contractility and has been shown to be associated with adverse clinical outcome in patients with advanced heart failure (HF). On the other hand, cardiohepatic interactions have been a focus of attention in HF, and liver dysfunction in HF...
