INTRODUCTION
METHODS
CONCLUSION
This case demonstrates that
iliofemoral venous obstruction may
result in significant preload reduction,
resulting in IST as a compensatory
response to maintain cardiac output.
Patients with signs/symptoms of CVI
and associated tachyarrhythmias
should be evaluated for iliofemoral
venous obstruction, as it may
significantly impact preload status and
correlate with negative cardiac
outcomes such as resulting
tachycardia.
Further large scale studies can prove
to be valuable in understanding the
association between iliofemoral venous
obstruction and
its effects on cardiac
