Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To compare serial FVD and serial VExUS scoring as a predictor of organ dysfunction in acute heart failure patients.Timepoint: Until admitted in IC
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To compare the degree of venous congestion assessed by serial femoral venous Doppler in acute heart failure patients with organ dysfunction.Timepoint: Until admitted in ICU;To determine the correlation between femoral venous Doppler and right ventricular function.Timepoint: Until admitted in ICU;To determine the utility of femoral venous Doppler as a prognostic marker in acute heart failure patients.Timepoint: Until admitted in IC
