358. Demystifying Volume Status: An Ultrasound-Guided Physiologic Framework.
Accurate assessment of a patient's volume status is crucial in many conditions, informing decisions on fluid prescribing, vasoactive agents, and decongestive therapies. Determining a patient's volume status is challenging because of limitations in examination and investigations and the complexities of fluid homeostasis in disease states. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is useful in assessing hemodynamic parameters related to volume status, fluid responsiveness, and fluid tolerance. It requires understanding several physiologic concepts to interpret and integrate POCUS findings accurately into volume-related clinical decision-making.

Adaptation of the right ventricle is a key determinant of outcomes in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Despite a compelling rationale to develop targeted therapies for the right ventricle in PAH, no such treatments exist. H2-receptor antagonism is a potential myocardial-focused paradigm in heart failure.
