Description
Summary:[...]LUS may represent a useful tool to identify/monitor congestion and optimize decongestion therapy both in the ED and during hospital stay for AHF. [...]we believe that LUS is a very strong candidate as a potential ubiquitous tool in every patient with AHF, whether in the ED, intensive care, or cardiology ward, for diagnosis and risk stratification and possibly, in the near future, as a guide to treatment.
