Multimodal analysis of congestion and prognostic utility of the VExUS protocol in hospitalized heart failure patients at a tertiary care hospital
Moderate to severe congestion (VExUS grade 2-3) is associated with higher clinical congestion scores, greater need for diuretic treatment, and worse clinical outcomes, including increased mortality and rehospitalization rates in AHF. Furthermore, one-third of AHF showed congestion nephropathy a situation with clinical relevance that can influence decongestive treatments and final outcomes.
