TL;DR: Most patients with acute decompensated heart failure still have residual congestion 7 days after hospitalization, and the presence of significant residual congestion at day 7 or discharge was independently associated with increased risk of re-admissions for heart failure by day 60 and all-cause mortality by day 180.

TL;DR: In this article, a quantitative scale (LUZ-score) was used to assess lung injury caused by COVID-19 in COVID19 hospitalised patients, which is an easy, simple and fast point-of-care ultrasound tool to identify patients with severe lung injury.

TL;DR: The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) of sST2 for endpoints was 0.776 (p = 0.001) as discussed by the authors, where the AUC is defined as the difference between the mean and the standard deviation (SD) of SST2.

TL;DR: This article evaluated the use of fragmento amino terminal del peptido natriuretico cerebral (NT-proBNP), antigeno de cancer 125 (CA125), hallazgos de la ecografia pulmonar, estimacion del volumen plasmatico relativo (VPr) and el cociente urea/creatinina, as well as parametros subrogados de congestion venosa and predictores of mortalidad.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors hypothesized that circulating soluble ST2 (sST2) could be associated with a worse outcome, prompted by previous knowledge of sST2 involvement in heart failure-associated lung deterioration, and by mounting evidence favoring a role of IL-33/ST2 axis in the disease.
