Aortic regurgitation is diagnosed by an early diastolic murmur. Level of evidence 1a Expiry Date November 2003 Aortic regurgitation is diagnosed by an early diastolic murmur. Level of evidence 1a Expiry Date November 2003 Congestive heart failure normal sinus rhythm: digoxin reduces hospitalisation and clinical deterioration Level of evidence 1a Expiry Date November 2003 Heart failure clinical features and atrial peptide can help detect systolic dysfunction in primary care patients Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date November 2003 Cardiomegaly precordial percussion was quite useful in diagnosis. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date July 2003 Cardiomegaly palpation could be quite useful in diagnosis. Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date July 2003 Central venous pressure jugular venous pressure is somewhat helpful. Level of evidence 1a Expiry Date July 2003 Dyspnoea clinical examination may help to determine cause. Level of evidence 1a Expiry Date May 2003 Heart failure pulmonary blood flow, vascular pedicle width and pulmonary oedema can helped distinguish it from ARDS and overhydratio.n Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date March 2003 Heart failure chest X-rays were not very good at diagnosing or excluding it Level of evidence 2a Expiry Date October 2003 Heart failure a normal ECG made left ventricular systolic dysfunction less likely Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date October 2003 Heart failure elderly: a previous history and a raised ANP increased the risk of congestive heart failure Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date October 2003 Heart failure clinical features did not usefully help exclude impaired systolic function Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date October 2003 Heart failure a positive abdominojugular test correlated with a high pulmonary artery wedge pressure. Level of evidence 4 Expiry Date November 2003 Heart failure physical signs helped to rule out. Level of evidence 4 Expiry Date October 2003 Heart failure pulmonary blood flow, vascular pedicle width and pulmonary oedema can helped distinguish it from ARDS and overhydration Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date November 2003 Heart failure clinical examination can help diagnose left-sided heart failure in adults. Level of evidence 1a Expiry Date July 2003 Heart failure clinical features could help diagnose and exclude left ventricular dysfunction. Level of evidence 4 Expiry Date December 2003
