Lung and Cardiac Ultrasound for Acute Decompensated Heart Failure

Overview

About this study

This study aims to address the gaps in physical exam assessment and lack of available time for POCUS exams to provide daily accurate quantitation of markers of pulmonary and systemic congestion by combining lung ultrasound and peripheral pressure monitoring in heart failure patients without altering provider time commitments.
