The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if using point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) can increase participant engagement and changes in behavior among adults with risk factors for pre-symptomatic heart failure presenting to the emergency department. The main questions it aims to answer are:

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if using point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) can increase participant engagement and changes in behavior among adults with risk factors for pre-symptomatic heart failure presenting to the emergency department. The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Does POCUS increase understanding of heart failure and the likelihood to improve diet, exercise, and follow up?
2. Does POCUS improve diet, exercise, follow up, and self-efficacy at three months post-intervention?
Researchers will compare an educational intervention with versus without POCUS to see if POCUS works to improve outcomes.
Participants will:
Receive either the educational intervention alone or an educational intervention plus POCUS. They will report the difference in their understanding and likelihood to improve diet, exercise, and follow up immediately post-intervention. They will also report changes in diet, exercise, follow up, and self-efficacy at three months post-intervention.
