Lung ultrasonography derived B-line scores as predictors of left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and pulmonary artery wedge pressure

Non-invasive assessment of elevated left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) and pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) in patients with heart diseases is challenging. Lung ultrasonography (LUS) is a promising modality for predicting LVEDP and PAWP.
