Abstract Background: The Venous Excess Ultrasound (VExUS) score has been proposed as an ultrasonographic method for assessing systemic venous congestion in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). However, the relationship between VExUS and the biomarker N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) remains unclear in literature. Objectives: To evaluate the correlation between the VExUS score and serum NT-proBNP levels in patients with ADHF. Methods: This retrospective observational study included 117 patients hospitalized with ADHF. Systemic venous congestion was assessed using the […]
