EVALUATION OF HEMOCONCENTRATION BASED BIOELECTRICAL VECTORIAL IMPEDANCE ANALYSIS IS USEFUL RISK STRATIFICATION IN ACUTE DECOMPENSATED HEART FAILURE

Background: Anemia is associated with poor outcomes in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Whereas pseudoanemia with hemodilution due to fluid retention is also observed in ADHF patients. Thus, we investigated the association between hematocrit (Hct) and volume-overload with
