Guideline-directed management of heart failure includes assessment of volume status, 1 for which estimation of jugular venous pressure (JVP) is the most reliable bedside marker. [2][3][4] Whether JVP can be assessed remotely, as would occur during a telemedicine visit, is unknown. Given the dramatic increase in telemedicine visits during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, this question has gained further importance. We conducted a prospective observational study comparing JVP estimates performed at bedside and over video chat with invasively measured right atrial pressure (RAP).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
