Inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter and respirophasic variation are commonly used echocardiographic indices to estimate right atrial pressure. While dilatation of the IVC and reduced collapsibility have traditionally been associated with elevated right heart filling pressures, the significance of isolated IVC dilatation in the absence of raised filling pressures remains poorly understood. We present a case of an asymptomatic 28-year-old male incidentally found to have IVC dilatation, reduced inspiratory collapse, and normal right heart pressures.

Chromatographic Fractionation

Extracts of urine from 11 normal dogs, 9 dogs with cardiac failure and 10 dogs with thoracic inferior vena cava constriction and ascites were assayed for aldosterone-like activity. The activity in urine from dogs with heart failure and from dogs with thoracic caval constriction was equivalent to 52 and 167 µg/day of DCA, respectively, and renal Na excretion was uniformly low. No activity was detected in 4 days' urine from normal dogs but chromatographic fractionation and assay of a 26-day collection of normal dog urine showed Na-retaining and increased K-excreting activity in the aldosterone fraction only. Following bilateral adrenalectomy and discontinuation of DCA therapy in 2 dogs with caval constriction, all urinary aldosterone-like activity disappeared and a natriuresis occurred. Assays of chromatographic fractions of extracts of urine from dogs with heart failure and from dogs with caval constriction revealed activity only in the aldosterone fraction.
