Quick liver scan could speed up heart failure diagnosis in ER

NCT ID NCT07449377

Summary

This study is testing if a simple, non-invasive liver scan (called Fibroscan®) can help doctors quickly diagnose acute heart failure in emergency room patients who arrive with sudden shortness of breath. The goal is to see if this bedside tool is more accurate and faster than current tests like blood work or X-rays. Researchers will enroll 100 adult patients to compare the scan results against standard diagnostic methods.
