After a 15 min training session involving a tutorial video, subjects performed a four-zone LUS using a handheld ultrasound. Exams were saved on a remote server and independently reviewed by two LUS experts. Studies were determined interpretable according to a strict definition: the presence of an intercostal space, and the presence of A-lines, B-lines, or both. Subjects also answered a questionnaire to gather feedback and assess self-efficacy. The median age of 44 subjects was 53 years (range, 36\u201364). Thirty (68%) were male. Last educational level attained was high school or below for 31 subjects (70%), and one-third used Spanish as their preferred language. One hundred fifty of 175 lung zones (85%) were interpretable, with expert agreement of 87% and a kappa of 0.49. 98% of subjects reported that they could perform this LUS self-exam at home.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This pilot study reports that training HF patients to perform a LUS self-exam is feasible, with reported high self-efficacy.
