Why the study?
Does simultaneous assessment of pulmonary, venous, and kidney congestion by ultrasound identify sub-clinical congestion associated with poor outcomes in outpatients with heart failure?
Does simultaneous assessment of pulmonary, venous, and kidney congestion by ultrasound identify sub-clinical congestion associated with poor outcomes in outpatients with heart failure?
Multi-organ ultrasound assessment of congestion is feasible and identifies sub-clinical congestion linked to poor outcomes in heart failure outpatients.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May identify high-risk HF outpatients; hypothesis-generating before trials test targeted decongestion.
Simultaneous assessment of pulmonary, venous, and kidney congestion by ultrasound is feasible, fast, and identifies a high prevalence of sub-clinical congestion associated with poor outcomes.
