CONGRESS ABSTRACT

Renal resistance index (RRI) is a parameter which is easily evaluable by the echo Doppler technique and which has been demonstrated to predict worsening of renal function (WRF) in patients affected by chronic heart failure as well as among those undergoing coronary angiography. The aim of this study was…

Worsening of renal function (WRF) is frequently observed after cardiac surgery and it is associated with both short- and long-term worse outcome. Among the pathophysiological conditions favoring the occurrence of WRF, the abnormalities in renal blood flow could play a key role. The aim of this study was to…
