Simple bedside checks may cut heart failure hospital stays by a full day
NCT ID NCT07572955
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding daily lung ultrasound and vein pressure checks to standard care can help people with acute heart failure leave the hospital sooner and reduce the chance of coming back. About 500 adults admitted for heart failure will be randomly assigned to either the extra monitoring or usual care. The goal is to see if this approach safely shortens hospital stays by at least one day.
