VExUS in Patients With Acute Heart Failure
Congestion Assessment Using Venous Excess Ultrasound Score (VExUS) in Patients With Acute Heart Failure
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 20 May 2024
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The importance of assessing venous congestion in heart failure patients is widely acknowledged, but its study is hampered by the lack of a practical evaluation tool. Venous excess ultrasound score (VExUS) is a promising noninvasive ultrasound-guided modality that can detect and objectify clinically significant organ congestion. VExUS congestion grading score was still not formally validated in patients with AHF, as there is limited data on its clinical application in this group of patients.
