It is also useful for identifying subclinical congestion and has greater diagnostic and prognostic value, though it also presents limitations.

The wide range of required parameters can hinder completion and interpretation. Identifying congestive patients as patients with poor prognosis, regardless of the technique used to do so, will help develop new decongestive strategies and, therefore, will help improve the prognosis of our patients."
