In this RCT, we randomized 126 patients with HF to either a LUS-guided protocol vs. conventional care.
In the LUS-guided arm, LUS was performed in every visit and results allowed the clinician to titrate therapies.
In the conventional arm, LUS was blinded.

In the conventional arm, LUS was blinded.
The primary outcome was the composite of urgent HF visits, rehospitalization for worsening HF and death from any cause.
LUS guided treatment was associated with a 45% risk reduction in the primary endpoint, mainly driven by a reduction in urgent HF visits (HR 0.28, P = 0.001)

Our results suggest that routine incorporation of LUS into clinical follow-up of patients with HF may allow to avoid adverse outcomes
This is the second RCT suggesting an important role for LUS in HF (check LUS-HF bit.ly by @m_rivaslasarte and @j_alvarezgarcia)
