Dynamic Changes and Prognostic Value of Pulmonary Congestion by Lung Ultrasound in Acute and Chronic Heart Failure: A Systematic Review

Lung ultrasound findings change rapidly in response to HF therapy. This technique may represent a useful and non-invasive method to track dynamic changes in pulmonary congestion. Furthermore, residual congestion at the time of discharge in acute HF or in ambulatory patients with chronic HF may identify those at high risk for adverse events.
