TL;DR: Symbolic analysis of 3 beat sequences takes into account the different time course of sympathetic and parasympathetic cardiac modulations and seems appropriate for elucidating the neural pathophysiological mechanisms occurring during the short periods that precede acute cardiac events.

TL;DR: Ultrasound performed at the bedside can detect lung water and intravascular overload and their reduction after dialysis in yet asymptomatic patients, adding further evidence regarding the use of lung ultrasound and inferior vena cava measurement in estimating volume overload and monitoring the response to therapy both in hemodialysis and congestive heart failure patients.

TL;DR: B-lines at discharge are a prognostic marker for hospital readmission and death at 100days in HF patients, in combination or not with NT-proBNP.

TL;DR: LUS allows one to assess the clearance of interstitial syndrome and its distribution in the early hours of treatment of CPE, thus representing a possible tool to guide therapy titration.

TL;DR: Echocardiography may identify cardiac tamponade before it is clinically evident, and can guide pericardiocentesis, even though more advanced operator expertise is required.
