Daily heart scan aims to keep patients home
NCT ID NCT02892227
Summary
This study tested whether using a simple, daily bedside ultrasound scan to check a patient's fluid status could help doctors adjust heart failure medication more precisely. Researchers enrolled 250 adults hospitalized for acute heart failure to see if this approach led to fewer patients being readmitted to the hospital within 30 days. The goal was to improve treatment by getting a better picture of the patient's condition each day.
