Description
Summary:It is very important to assess pulmonary oedema in patients with acute heart failure. The aim of the study was to investigate the accuracy of lung ultrasound in evaluating pulmonary oedema and to explore lung ultrasound in predicting the prognosis. One hundred twenty-four acute heart failure patients were divided into 3 groups, according to the total number of lung ultrasound B-lines groups: B-lines
