Venous Leg Compression for Tissue Decongestion in Patients With Worsening Congestive Heart Failure

Venous Leg Compression for Tissue Decongestion in Patients With Worsening Congestive Heart Failure

AimsVenous leg compression (VLC) with elastic bandages has been proposed as a potentially useful strategy for decreasing tissue congestion. We aimed to evaluate the effect of VLC on short-term changes on intravascular refill, assessed by inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter in patients with worsening h...
