Association between right-sided cardiac function and ultrasound-based pulmonary congestion on acutely decompensated heart failure: findings from a pooled analysis of four cohort studies

ConclusionsIn patients with acutely decompensated HF, impaired RV function and RV –PA coupling were associated with severe pulmonary congestion on admission, and less resolution of pulmonary congestion during hospital stay. Worse prognosis related to residual pulmonary congestion was enhanced in patients with RV dysfunction.Graphic abstract TAPSE, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion; PASP, pulmonary artery systolic pressure.
