| Abstract |
No study has investigated the admission echocardiographic characteristics of acute heart failure (AHF) patients who are resistant to conventional diuretics and require tolvaptan. We retrospectively analyzed the echocardiographic characteristics of AHF patients who were resistant to conventional diuretics and took tolvaptan (tolvaptan group: 26 patients), and compared them to those who were sensitive to conventional diuretics (conventional group: 180 patients). The tolvaptan group had a higher left atrial volume index (96.0 ± 85.0 mL/m2 vs. 45.8 ± 25.9 mL/m(2), p < 0.0001), maximum inferior vena cava diameter (20.7 ± 6.9 mm vs. 18.1 ± 4.2 mm, p < 0.01), and higher tricuspid regurgitation grade (1.1 ± 0.8 vs. 0.8 ± 0.6, p < 0.05) than the conventional group. However, the left ventricular ejection fraction and end diastolic diameter were similar between the groups. Responders of tolvaptan had no significant echocardiographic differences compared to the non-responders. The admission echocardiographic characteristics of AHF patients requiring tolvaptan included a larger left atrium, inferior vena cava, and more severe tricuspid regurgitation. Echocardiography may provide useful information for the early and appropriate initiation of tolvaptan. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 June 2015.
All research outputs
#14,391,436
of 25,380,459 outputs
Outputs from Cardiovascular Ultrasound
#121
of 328 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#124,060
of 273,031 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cardiovascular Ultrasound
#8
of 12 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,380,459 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 328 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.7. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 63% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 273,031 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 12 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
