Can a simple ultrasound and blood test spot who will be back in the hospital?
NCT ID NCT07345156
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 350 adults hospitalized for acute heart failure. Researchers want to see if combining a lung ultrasound score with a blood lactate test at discharge can better predict who will be readmitted or die within 30 days. The goal is to improve risk assessment beyond current methods.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could give doctors a simple tool to identify heart failure patients at high risk of returning to the hospital or dying soon after discharge.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The score may not prove better than existing methods, and results may not apply to all heart failure patients.
