The Sant Pau Hospital Heart Failure Unit, the research group of Clinical and Traslational Cardiology, both in the Center for Biomedical Research in Cardiovascular Diseases Network (CIBERCV), of the Cardiology Department of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau have published in the prestigious European Journal of Heart Failure the first randomized clinical trial that demonstrates the usefulness of lung ultrasound to prevent repeated decompensations in patients with acute heart failure.
The authors have underline that "This simple, fast and inexpensive technology can change the outpatient monitoring follow-up of patients admitted for heart failure and could contribute to substantially reduce hospital readmissions".
