Assessment of Point of Care Lung Ultrasound in the Ambulatory Heart Failure Setting

David Golombeck, Radiah Khandokar, Joanna Stein Fishbein, Allison Provenzale et autres

BACKGROUND: Limited studies have evaluated lung ultrasound (LUS) in ambulatory heart failure (HF). A six-zone LUS assesses B-lines, a marker of congestion. The Butterfly IQ+ probe features an automated B-line counter (ABLC), eliminating manual counting. We evaluated LUS quality by novice HF …

Pulmonary Congestion on Lung Ultrasound Predicts Increased Risk of 30‐Day Readmission in Heart Failure Patients

Allison Cohen, Timmy Li, Simon W. Maybaum, David Fridman et autres

OBJECTIVES: Heart failure exacerbations are a common cause of hospitalizations with a high readmission rate. There are few validated predictors of readmission after treatment for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Lung ultrasound (LUS) is sensitive and specific in the assessment of pulmonary …

Subjective Assessment Underestimates Fraility in Patients With Heart Failure Referred for Advanced Therapies

Cassandra Heaney, Alexis Knisel, Ravi Vuthoori, David Golombeck et autres

Assessment of frailty is key for evaluation for advanced therapies (ATs). Most programs use a subjective provider assessment (SPA) or "eye-ball" test; however, objective measures exist. The modified five-item Fried Frailty Index (mFFI) is a validated tool to assess frailty. We compared …
