Abstract

Background: whenever heart failure become diagnosed either by hospital admission or even in patients without symptoms should be treated as life-threatening condition with an adverse prognosis ,This study aims to evaluate diameters of coronary sinus and inferior vena cava with BNP level as predictors of outcomes as re-hospitalization and cardiovascular deaths in heart failure .Methods: BNP level measurement and echocardiographic assessment of ejection fraction of left ventricle , diameter of coronary sinus and inferior vena cava .Results: In patients with HFREF ,By simple linear regression high NHYA class, BNP level, IVC ex , IVC in mean CS diameter, RVD, FAC, and PAP was significant predictors of poor , with multiple logistic regression BNP level(p value
