Systematic CPUSI can improve HF management by complementing the often challenging judgment of pulmonary congestion. Adding periodic evaluation of ventricular filling pressures and LUS scores to clinical assessment can optimize treatment decisions and improve patient care. LUS score was a significant predictor for in-hospital and post-discharge clinical outcomes.
