简要总结
Between 25% and 30% of patients hospitalized for acute heart failure (AHF) are readmitted within 90 days after discharge. Mostly due to persistent congestion on discharge. However, as the optimal evaluation of decongestion is not clearly defined, it is necessary to implement new tools to identify subclinical congestion to guide treatment.

盲法说明
CAVAL US will be performed on all patients, and patients will be blinded to the assigned group.
The treating medical team will be blind to the CAVAL US results of the control group.
Independent clinicians adjudicating 90-day events will not participate in patient follow-up, and will be blind to the assigned group.
