Quick takeaways
- A pulsatile common femoral vein can serve as an indicator of a large inferior vena cava (IVC) size, providing valuable information in the management of heart failure patients.
- Efforts are being made in Spain to standardize training and credentialing for ultrasound use in heart failure patients, similar to the United States, to improve its utilization and effectiveness.

The Role of the Femoral Vein Doppler in Acute Heart Failure Patients
A prospective study was conducted to examine the correlation between the novel measurement of common femoral vein doppler flow and echocardiographic right heart dysfunction in acute heart failure patients. The study found a strong correlation between a pulsatile flow in the common femoral vein and a large inferior vena cava (IVC) size. This suggests that a pulsatile common femoral vein can serve as an indicator of a large IVC, providing valuable information in the management of heart failure patients.
