Heart failure (HF) hospitalizations are most commonly motivated by systemic and pulmonary congestion, leading to 5–15% of mortality rate and up to 50% of readmission rate in 90 days. Although the usual goal during hospitalization is complete decongestion, 30% of patients have residual congestion at discharge. Signs of congestion, high filling pressures and elevated natriuretic peptides are associated with higher mortality and readmission rates, and residual congestion at discharge is also associated with worse prognosis., Congestion assessment is usually difficult […]
