Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
1. Is there effect of use of cardiometry on rate of use of vasopressors, vasodilators and inotropes?
2. is there effect of use of cardiometry on mortality and hospital length of stay?
Researchers compared cardiometry to traditional methods like clinical examination, lung ultrasound and inferior vena cava.
Participants were divided into two groups, one managed by cardiometry and the other by traditional methods, then followed till improvement or death and compared regarding use of medications, length of stay and mortality

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This is a prospective controlled research that involved fifty patients, diagnosed with acute heart failure and admitted to critical care units at Alexandria University Hospitals, patients were divided into 2 groups:
Group A: was assessed by traditional methods which include: clinical examination including chest auscultation and systolic blood pressure measurement, lung ultrasound and inferior vena cava assessment and managed according to the results of these parameters.
Group B: was assessed by electrical cardiometry parameters as cardiac output, thoracic fluid content (TFC) and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) and was managed as following: inotropes up and down titration according to cardiac output readings, use of vasopressors or vasodilators according to SVR readings, doses of diuretics were modified according to TFC readings.
