Prognostic value of jugular, pulmonary and inferior vena cava ultrasound in decompensated heart failure in primary care
Multiparametric ultrasound performed in Primary Care allows identification and quantification of hemodynamic congestion in decompensated HF. Among evaluated parameters, only IVC collapsibility showed independent short-term prognostic value, supporting its integration into community-based risk stratification models.
