• 1 other identifier: Lung Ultra Sound (LUS)
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 600
• Locations: 1 country

Brief Summary

This study assesses the potential of lung ultrasonography to diagnose heart failure.

Conditions

Dyspnea; Cardiac

Keywords

Lung ultrasound,; heart failure; diagnosis; accuracy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• the accuracy of LUS in the diagnosis of heart failure

  the accuracy of LUS in the diagnosis of heart failure measured by sensitivity ,specificity, and area under the roc curve

  0 days

Study Arms (2)

HF/HFpEF

patients with heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction(HFpEF) perform LUS

Diagnostic Test: lung ultrasound

HF/HFrEF

patients with heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction(HFrEF) perform LUS

Diagnostic Test: lung ultrasound

Interventions

lung ultrasound DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

we perform a lung ultrasound to all the patients admitted for dyspnea independantly from the final diagnosis

HF/HFpEF; HF/HFrEF
