VALDEZ, María; LEQUINI, Nahiara; RAMOS, Camila  y  TRUJILLO, Pedro. High output heart failure associated with arteriovenous fistula. Clinical case. Rev.Urug.Cardiol. [online]. 2024, vol.39, n.1, e702.  Epub 01-Dic-2024. ISSN 0797-0048.  https://doi.org/10.29277/cardio.39.1.3.

The creation of an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) determines an increase in cardiac output, the magnitude of which is related to the size of the shunt. In the right scenario, this can lead to the development of heart failure (HF) with high cardiac output. The case of a patient who develops HF after creating an AVF for chronic hemodialysis and its subsequent clinical implications is presented. Diagnostic and therapeutic aspects related to high-output HF are reviewed.

Palabras clave : HIGH OUTPUT HEART FAILURE; HEMODIALYSIS; CARDIAC OUTPUT; HIGH-FLOW ARTERIOVENOUS FISTULA.
