Utilizing Lung Ultrasound in Diagnosis of Heart Failure

Lung ultrasound serves as a pivotal tool in diagnosing acute heart failure syndrome by assessing B-lines in various lung areas. Studies show that lung ultrasound combines with clinical information outperforms traditional diagnostic methods like chest radiography and laboratory tests. The specificity and sensitivity of lung ultrasound in detecting heart failure are highlighted, emphasizing its critical role in rapid, accurate diagnosis.
