Value of Echocardiography in the Treatment of Patients With Acute Heart Failure
Heart failure (HF) is a burden in pandemic medicine resulting in high mortality and morbidity. Because acute HF is a life-threatening event, its diagnosis and choice of optimal treatment are important to improve outcomes. Furthermore, understanding the cause and hemodynamics of acute HF is important...
