Pulmonary congestion is the main cause of hospital admission in patients with heart failure (HF). Lung ultrasound (LUS) is a useful tool to identify subclinical pulmonary congestion. We evaluated the usefulness of LUS in addition to physical examination (PE) in the management of outpatients with HF.
