Journal:
Journal of cardiology
Topic:
BIVA analysis together with other biomarkers including BNP, ePVS and BUN/Cr provide independent and complementary information in patients with heart failure at the time of admission. A combined evaluation of these indices enables a prediction of the risk of death in 40% of cases irrespective of the condition of acute or chronic heart failure.

Topic:
Blood congestion is a predictor of hospital length of stay (LOS) in patients with acute heart failure (AHF). Rapid detection of the state of congestion with BIVA analysis enables targeted administration of treatment for AHF, reducing the LOS and treatment costs.
