Does multiparametric ultrasound (jugular, pulmonary, IVC) provide prognostic value in patients with decompensated heart failure in primary care?
IVC collapsibility assessed by ultrasound in primary care provides independent short-term prognostic value for patients with decompensated heart failure.
Multiparametric ultrasound performed in Primary Care allows identification and quantification of hemodynamic congestion in decompensated HF. Among evaluated parameters, only IVC collapsibility showed independent short-term prognostic value, supporting its integration into community-based risk stratification models.
