Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) emerged as a promising tool to evaluate acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). We propose a POCUS score combining lung and systemic congestion for ADHF assessment. METHODS: Patients admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) with a diagnosis of ADHF and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)
