Consensus paper on the use of BIVA (Bioeletrical Impendance Vector Analysis) in medicine for the management of body hydration	2011	9	.pdf	application/pdf	8747	433	48	Moreover, the combined use of both BIVA and BNP improves the management of heart failure patients because it is useful to reach a faster and more accurate diagnosis, it is a valid support to distinguish cardiogenic dyspnea from noncardiogenic dy- spnea and supports decisions about diuretic therapy. In our ED, we evaluated hydration status at the admission, 24, 72 hours after admission and at the discharge time in acute heart failure patients using a multidi- mentional approach: together with BIVA, we evaluated BNP, ul- trasonographic measurement of the Caval Index and vascular pedicle width obtained through chest radiography.	cache/ecj-1435.pdf	txt/ecj-1435.txt
