The CME article summarizes recommendations for the use of echocardiography in AHF patients in the emergency department. In addition, it describes a step-by-step approach for the hemodynamic assessment of AHF patients in intensive care units. Full Text References Literatur 1 Papolos A, Narula J, Bavishi C et al.
