Observations in incorporating lung ultrasound views into the echo lab: value in decompensated heart failure
The addition of 4 simple lung views to the standard echocardiogram improves diagnostic accuracy for decompensated CHF without increasing imaging resources. These pilot data support integrating lung ultrasound with standard echocardiography for healthcare delivery in hospital settings.
