    <p>O artigo intitulado " Avalia&#231;&#227;o da Congest&#227;o Pulmonar por Ultrassom e Sensoriamento Diel&#233;trico Remoto (ReDS) em Pacientes Hospitalizados com Insufici&#234;ncia Card&#237;aca"<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref></sup> nos traz uma importante contribui&#231;&#227;o para a adequada avalia&#231;&#227;o de pacientes portadores de insufici&#234;ncia card&#237;aca (IC) que apresentem congest&#227;o pulmonar, a qual representa uma frequente causa de descompensa&#231;&#227;o e interna&#231;&#227;o em pacientes com IC.</p>
    <p>A IC, tanto com fra&#231;&#227;o de eje&#231;&#227;o preservada quanto reduzida, tem elevada preval&#234;ncia, com aumento devido ao envelhecimento da popula&#231;&#227;o.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref></sup> Al&#233;m disto apresenta alta mortalidade mesmo com o advento de novas drogas e novos alvos terap&#234;uticos.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref></sup></p>
    <p>O progn&#243;stico da IC pode ser avaliado de v&#225;rias formas, incluindo a classe funcional (NYHA) e par&#226;metros ecocardiogr&#225;ficos atrav&#233;s de biomarcadores, como os pept&#237;deos natriur&#233;ticos. Outro ponto importante a ser considerado &#233; a avalia&#231;&#227;o etiol&#243;gica da doen&#231;a, uma vez que o progn&#243;stico tamb&#233;m difere entre as diversas etiologias. Ademais, outros fatores devem ser considerados, incluindo dados de hist&#243;ria cl&#237;nica, exame f&#237;sico, exames complementares, avalia&#231;&#227;o hemodin&#226;mica e toler&#226;ncia &#224;s medica&#231;&#245;es com impacto em mortalidade.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref></sup> Dessa forma, buscando diminuir a subjetividade durante a avalia&#231;&#227;o progn&#243;stica do paciente com IC, alguns escores de riscos foram criados. Dentre eles, os mais utilizados na pr&#225;tica cl&#237;nica s&#227;o o <italic>Heart Failure Survival Score</italic> (HFSS) e o <italic>Seattle Heart Failure Model</italic> (SHFM).<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref></sup> Ademais, dentre as principais causas de descompensa&#231;&#227;o associadas a IC, a doen&#231;a renal cr&#244;nica (DRC) &#233; uma das principais, visto que com muita frequ&#234;ncia DRC e IC coexistem, al&#233;m de compartilharem diversos fatores de risco, culminando com um pior progn&#243;stico aos pacientes.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref></sup> Em pacientes com IC as descompensa&#231;&#245;es representam um importante fator progn&#243;stico causando frequentes interna&#231;&#245;es que aumentam sua mortalidade. Entre as principais causas de descompensa&#231;&#227;o encontra-se a m&#225; ades&#227;o medicamentosa e o estilo de vida.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">7</xref></sup> Entre todas as causas de descompensa&#231;&#227;o a congest&#227;o pulmonar est&#225; presente na maioria dos casos e sua detec&#231;&#227;o, principalmente quando precoce, pode diminuir a chance de interna&#231;&#227;o e, consequentemente melhorar a qualidade de vida e progn&#243;stico dos pacientes. T&#233;cnicas inovadoras t&#234;m buscado identificar pacientes propensos &#224; descompensa&#231;&#227;o, principalmente a n&#237;vel extra-hospitalar.</p>
    <p>A inova&#231;&#227;o tecnol&#243;gica na IC est&#225; transformando a forma como os pacientes s&#227;o monitorados em rela&#231;&#227;o &#224;s descompensa&#231;&#245;es. Dessa forma, dispositivos implant&#225;veis, como monitores hemodin&#226;micos, t&#234;m mostrado bom desempenho na melhora da sobrevida em pacientes com fra&#231;&#227;o de eje&#231;&#227;o reduzida, pois eles fornecem dados cont&#237;nuos sobre a press&#227;o arterial e outros par&#226;metros card&#237;acos.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref></sup> Al&#233;m disso, existem balan&#231;as inteligentes combinadas com biomarcadores digitais que oferecem uma abordagem n&#227;o invasiva para monitorar a fun&#231;&#227;o card&#237;aca, atrav&#233;s da medi&#231;&#227;o do volume sangu&#237;neo, redistribui&#231;&#227;o de l&#237;quidos corporais e fun&#231;&#227;o card&#237;aca &#8211; como o d&#233;bito card&#237;aco. Isso &#233; poss&#237;vel devido a tecnologias como o balistocardiograma e a imped&#226;ncia bioel&#233;trica, que conseguem detectar as mudan&#231;as na circula&#231;&#227;o sangu&#237;nea e na composi&#231;&#227;o corporal com base na condutividade el&#233;trica do corpo.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">9</xref></sup> Ademais, as estrat&#233;gias de monitoramento remoto est&#227;o evoluindo com o uso de algoritmos que avaliam m&#250;ltiplos dados do paciente em tempo real, permitindo uma coleta cont&#237;nua de dados fisiol&#243;gicos, como press&#227;o arterial, frequ&#234;ncia card&#237;aca e n&#237;veis de oxig&#234;nio. Com isso, a interven&#231;&#227;o &#233; r&#225;pida e personalizada, reconhecendo mudan&#231;as sutis que precedem a descompensa&#231;&#227;o, reduzindo hospitaliza&#231;&#245;es e melhorando a qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Al&#233;m disso, os dados dos pacientes podem ser acompanhados pela equipe m&#233;dica atrav&#233;s de aplicativos m&#243;veis e plataformas de sa&#250;de digital, permitindo ajuste terap&#234;utico de forma precoce, como tamb&#233;m melhora na ades&#227;o ao tratamento e acompanhamento regular do paciente.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">10</xref></sup></p>
    <p>Logo, as inova&#231;&#245;es tecnol&#243;gicas est&#227;o promovendo um novo paradigma no cuidado de pacientes com IC, focando em abordagens mais proativas e preventivas, o que apresenta um grande potencial de melhora na qualidade de vida e progn&#243;stico destes pacientes.</p>

      <p>The manuscript entitled "Assessment of Pulmonary Congestion According to Ultrasound and Remote Dielectric Sensing (ReDS) in Patients Hospitalized With Heart Failure"<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref></sup> brings us an important contribution to the adequate evaluation of patients with heart failure (HF) who present pulmonary congestion, which represents a frequent cause of decompensation and hospitalization in patients with HF.</p>
      <p>HF, both with preserved and reduced ejection fraction, has a high prevalence, with an increase due to the aging of the population.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref></sup> Furthermore, it presents high mortality even with the advent of new drugs and new therapeutic targets.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref></sup></p>
      <p>The prognosis of HF can be assessed in several ways, including the functional class (NYHA), echocardiographic parameters, through biomarkers, such as natriuretic peptides. Another important point to be considered is the etiological assessment of the disease, since the prognosis also differs between different etiologies. Furthermore, other factors must be considered, including data from clinical history, physical examination, complementary tests, hemodynamic assessment and tolerance to medications with an impact on mortality.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref></sup> Therefore, seeking to reduce subjectivity during the prognostic assessment of patients with HF, some risk scores were created. Among them, the most used in clinical practice are the Heart Failure Survival Score (HFSS) and the Seattle Heart Failure Model (SHFM).<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref></sup> Furthermore, among the main causes of decompensation associated with HF, chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the main ones, since CKD and HF very often coexist, in addition to sharing several risk factors, culminating in a worse prognosis for patients.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref></sup> In patients with HF, decompensation represents an important prognostic factor, causing frequent hospitalizations that increase mortality. Among the main causes of decompensation is poor medication adherence and lifestyle habits.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">7</xref></sup> Among all the causes of decompensation, the presence of pulmonary congestion is present in most cases and its detection, especially when early, can reduce the chance of hospitalization and, consequently, improving the quality of life and prognosis of patients. Innovative techniques have sought to identify patients prone to decompensation, especially at an out-of-hospital level.</p>
      <p>Technological innovation in HF is transforming the way patients are monitored for decompensation. Therefore, implantable devices, such as hemodynamic monitors, have shown good performance in improving survival in patients with reduced ejection fraction, as they provide continuous data on blood pressure and other cardiac parameters.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref></sup> Additionally, there are smart scales combined with digital biomarkers that offer a non-invasive approach to monitoring cardiac function by measuring blood volume, body fluid redistribution and cardiac function &#8211; such as cardiac output. This is possible due to technologies such as bioelectrical impedance, which can detect changes in blood circulation and body composition based on the body's electrical conductivity.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">9</xref></sup> Furthermore, remote monitoring strategies are evolving with the use of algorithms that evaluate multiple patient data in real time, allowing continuous collection of physiological data, such as blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen levels. Therefore, the intervention is quick and personalized, recognizing subtle changes that precede decompensation, reducing hospitalizations and improving patients&#8217; quality of life. Furthermore, patient data can be monitored by the medical team through mobile applications and digital health platforms, allowing early therapeutic adjustment, as well as improving treatment adherence and regular patient monitoring.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">10</xref></sup></p>
      <p>Therefore, technological innovations are promoting a new paradigm in the care of patients with HF, focusing on more proactive and preventive approaches, which has great potential for improving the quality of life and prognosis of these patients.</p>
