B-lines: to count or not to count?
We read with a great interest the paper by Miglioranza et al. (1), which sought to define the performance of lung ultrasound (LUS) compared with a clinical congestion score, natriuretic peptides, and echocardiography, to evaluate decompensation in patients with systolic heart failure (HF) in an outpatient clinic.
