Boston Medical Center Ultrasound Decongestion Study in Heart Failure (NCT07096726)
Boston Medical Center Ultrasound Decongestion Study
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this study is to analyze the utility of a novel five-point ultrasound as a predictor of volume overload in diverse patients who are admitted with volume overload/congestive heart failure (CHF) exacerbation at Boston Medical Center (BMC), the largest safety-net hospital in New England. Current standard of care (SOC) involves the utilization of laboratory markers and physical exam, which is often inconsistent and equivocal. The investigators will assess will assess if ultrasound-assisted diuresis reduces recurrent episodes of volume overload/decompensated heart failure.
