Lung ultrasound guided management in chronic heart failure: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

LUS-guided management is associated with a significant reduction in urgent HF visits and a nonsignificant reduction in HF hospitalizations, with no difference in rates of mortality, hypokalaemia, or worsening renal function. Future studies should aim to establish an optimal, standardized LUS-based definition of pulmonary congestion in chronic HF.
