Why Support the
Clinical Examination?
• Cheap (repeatable)
• Low risk of patient harm
• “Laying on the hands” – Enhances patient-physician relationship
Why Support the
Clinical Examination?
• Cheap (repeatable)
• Low risk of patient harm
• “Laying on the hands” – Enhances patient-physician relationship
• Provides useful information – Assess hemodynamic status
– Risk stratify
– As with all diagnostic tests, be aware of strengths and limitations
Types of Congestion
• Hemodynamic congestion – Elevated LV filling pressure (PCWP)
– Elevated RV filling pressure (RAP)
• Clinical congestion
– Hemodynamic congestion + signs/symptoms of HF

“The jugular venous pressure (JVP)
is the single most important marker
of the status of intravascular volume”
Jay Cohn, CHF, 2001
Utility of JVP and Orthopnea When
Estimating Volume Status in CHF
Only JVP 12 and orthopnea 2 pillows from the H&P
were associated with measured PCWP>30 mm Hg
Variable P value
JVP 12 4.6 (2, 10) <0.001
Orthopnea 3.6 (1, 13) <0.05

RAP/PCWP>2/3 “Right-Left Equalizer”
Concordant e.g., RA 11/PCWP 22
e.g., RA 18/PCWP 20 e.g., RA 5/PCWP 30
Right vs. Left Sided Hemodynamic Congestion:
Sub-phenotyping HF by RAP/PCWP ratio
• Preserved RV pattern – Low RAP/PCWP ratio: low RAP with high PCWP
– Erroneously believe patient is compensated
• Right-Left equalizer – High RAP/PCWP ratio: RAP is higher than
expected for given PCWP
– Over-diuresis
– ? hypotension, renal failure, worse outcome
Outline
History and Physical Examination
• Identify hemodynamic congestion – Key parameters (JVP)
– Dynamic maneuvers
• Hepatojugular reflux (HJR)
• Blood pressure response to Valsalva
• Bendopnea
• Prognostic utility of clinical congestion
Bendopnea
• Patients report SOB
when bending to put
on their shoes
• New symptom of heart
failure?
• What is the etiology of
“bendopnea”?
Bendopnea: Dyspnea when bending forward with symptom onset within 30 seconds of bending
Characteristics of Bendopnea
• Occurred in 29/102 (28%) of subjects
• Median (25th, 75th percentile) time to
onset: 8 (7, 11) seconds
• 100% agreement when tested before
and during catheterization

Why do Patients Discharged Without Clinical
Congestion Have High Event Rates?
• Prior clinical congestion is deleterious – Neurohormonal activation
– Subendocardial ischemia

Why do Patients Discharged Without Clinical
Congestion Have High Event Rates?
• Prior clinical congestion is deleterious
• Clinical assessment of congestion is not
performed well – Lack of skill in estimating JVP
– Assessment at rest
• Hemodynamic congestion sometimes can
not be identified by clinical exam – ? role for other modalities
• Post-discharge factors lead to recurrent
hemodynamic/clinical congestion, which
then leads to high event rates
Ability to Maintain Decongestion Post-Discharge
Is Associated with Lower Subsequent Mortality
• 146 NYHA IV patients evaluated 4 to 6 weeks after hospitalization
• Congestion score: orthopnea, JVD, edema, weight gain, increased diuretics
• 2-year mortality
– No congestion (n=80): 13% – 1 to 2 points (n=40): 33% – 3 to 5 points (n=26): 59%
Lucas, AHJ, 2000
Conclusions
• Clinical examination allows estimation of
hemodynamics
– Orthopnea and JVP
– Right vs. Left sided hemodynamic congestion
– Dynamic maneuvers including bendopnea
• Clinical congestion associated with worse
outcomes
• Further refinement of clinical skills in
estimating hemodynamics will make it harder
for other modalities to supplant the H+P
