Study of Lung Ultrasound for Acute Decompensated Heart Failure
This study is looking at whether using Lung Ultrasound (a diagnostic test) can help people with Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (a sudden worsening of heart failure symptoms) get out of the hospital sooner and reduce how often they need to be readmitted for heart failure. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older and are admitted to St. Mary's Hospital Cardiology Progressive Care Unit with a diagnosis of acute heart failure. The study hopes to show that daily Lung Ultrasound assessments can shorten hospital stays by at least one day compared to standard care. The current status of this study is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study planning to enroll 500 participants. It compares daily Lung Ultrasound assessments to a blinded standard of care.
- What's involved
- You would undergo Lung Ultrasound assessments at hospital admission, daily throughout your hospital stay, and at hospital discharge.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary endpoint, hospital stay length, is measured at baseline. The study also aims to reduce recurrent heart failure hospitalizations, but a specific follow-up duration for this is not provided.

What this trial measures
- Number of days in the hospitalBaseline
The number of days a patient is in the hospital will be determined by the day of admission and day of discharge. The day of discharge will be defined as when the consultant physician states that the patient is medically ready for discharge from the hospital.
