Summary
This study tests whether using lung ultrasound to guide fluid removal in adults hospitalized for acute heart failure leads to better outcomes than standard physical exams. Researchers will compare hospital stay length, readmission rates, and symptom improvement in 222 participants. The goal is to see if this imaging approach helps patients recover faster and stay healthier after discharge.
