This editorial refers to ‘Pulmonary blood volume index as a quantitative biomarker of haemodynamic congestion in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy’, by F. Ricci et al., pp. 1368--1376. Since haemodynamic congestion usually precedes clinical symptoms and represents a major parameter impacting the treatment and prognosis of patients with different kind of heart diseases, its assessment has become one of the new spotlights of modern cardiology.
