Title:

Volume Overload and Congestion in Chronic Heart Failure - What's Measuring Blood Volume Got To Do With It?

Learning Objectives:

1. Demonstrate the heterogeneity in blood volume overload and volume distribution in patients with decompensated chronic heart failure and implications for short and long term outcomes.

2. Demonstrate that not all volume overload is the same and therefore, the approach to treatment needs to be individualized.

3. Analyze the role of quantitative blood volume analysis in assessing volume status in heart failure patients.
