Ambulatory Monitoring of Congestive Heart Failure by Multiple Bioelectric Impedance Vectors

Ambulatory monitoring of congestive heart failure by multiple bioelectric impedance vectors.

OBJECTIVES This study was designed to investigate the properties of multiple bioelectric impedance signals recorded during congestive heart failure (CHF) by utilizing various electrode configurations of an implanted cardiac resynchronization therapy system. BACKGROUND The monitoring of CHF has relied mainly on right-side heart sensors. METHODS Fifteen normal dogs underwent implantation of c...

CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE IN CHILDREN: A SURVEY OF 114 PATIENTS

During a period of four years between June, IS, 1988 to June, IS, 1992 one hundred and fourteen patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) were admitted to the pediatric department of Taleghani General Hospital. During the above period, 192 patients with heart disease were hospitalized at this department and CHF was the cause of admission in 59.4% of them. Congenital heart disease (CHO) w...

Ambulatory Heart Failure Monitoring: A Systemic Review

Heart failure (HF) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality and has a large effect on the country's economy. Although there have been major advances in HF monitoring, including more advanced pharmacological management and device-based therapy, HF-related mortality remains high. It is important to monitor HF so that HF-related hospitalization and mortality can be prevented. Due to...

Population Monitoring of Quality of Life for Congestive Heart Failure

Prognostic value of Holter monitoring in congestive heart failure.

Congestive heart failure (CHF) is an increasingly widespread, costly and deadly disease, frequently named as epidemics of the 21 century. Despite advancement in modern treatment, mortality rate in CHF patients remains high. Therefore, risk stratification in patients with CHF remains one of the major challenges of contemporary cardiology. Electrocardiographic parameters based on ambulatory Holte...
