Summary

This study looks at whether a new five-point ultrasound can better predict fluid overload in people hospitalized with congestive heart failure. Current methods using lab tests and physical exams are often unclear. Researchers will compare ultrasound-guided treatment to standard care in 200 patients at Boston Medical Center, tracking readmission rates and kidney function over 90 days.
