Popis: Background: Plasma volume (PV) expansion is difficult to quantify in chronic heart failure (CHF) with numerous equations proposed for its estimation. We tested the prognostic utility of the Strauss formula in unselected patients and performed a direct comparison of PV equations. Methods: In 303 CHF
