Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

    Management

    • Consider diuretics for volume overload
    • Monitor renal function and electrolytes during treatment

    Monitoring & Follow-up

    • Regular assessment of NT-proBNP levels
    • Follow-up echocardiography as needed

    Risks

      Patient & Prescribing Data

      220 patients hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure

      Combination of lung ultrasound B-lines, NT-proBNP, and LAVI provides bedside identification of HFpEF
