Data are presented as median (IQR).

^*P < 0.05 vs JVD only, and JVD with either HJR, orthopnea, or bendopnea.

^†P<0.05 vs no congestion.

^‡P<0.05 vs. JVD with either HJR, orthopnea, or bendopnea. CI = cardiac index; JVD = jugular venous distension; HJR = hepatojugular reflux; PAP = pulmonary artery pressure; PCWP = pulmonary capillary wedge pressure; RAP = right atrial pressure; TD = thermodilution
