Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Lung ultrasound aspect according to diuretics dosage evolution.
B-lines number on LUS
LUS will be performed daily during the whole hospitalisation length (on average 7 days).
Secondary Outcomes (5)
Lung ultrasound aspect according to clinical signs of acute heart failure (crackling auscultation or lower limbs edema)
LUS and clinical examination will be performed daily during the whole hospitalisation length (on average 7 days).
Lung ultrasound aspect according to acute kidney injury (based on plasmatic creatinine levels).
LUS will be performed daily during the whole hospitalisation length (on average 7 days). Plasmatic creatinine measure will be performed at least weekly.
Lung ultrasound aspect according to early prognosis (re-hospitalisation or mortality within 30 days after discharge)
LUS will be performed daily during the whole hospitalisation length (on average 7 days). Patient will be called 30 days after discharge.
Feasibility of daily LUS in medical department.
LUS will be performed daily during the whole hospitalisation length (on average 7 days).
Interest of LUS compared to clinical examination at discharge.
LUS and clinical examination will be performed daily during the whole hospitalisation length (on average 7 days).
Study Arms (1)
Patients with acute heart failure
Patients hospitalized for acute heart failure in medical department.
Interventions
We will perform daily a lung ultrasound to evaluate pulmonary congestion by counting B-lines.
Eligibility Criteria
Patients aged over 18, hospitalized from the emergency department in the medical department for acute heart failure.
You may qualify if:
- Acute heart failure diagnosed by a senior physician in the medical department, with a confirmation of a second senior physician.
- Hospitalised in the medical department.
- No objection from the patient of his trusted person.
You may not qualify if:
- Administrative supervision or deprived of their liberty
- Pulmonary conditions distracting lung ultrasound (pneumonectomy, pulmonary fibrosis)
- Chronically dialysed
