Clinical utility of intrathoracic impedance monitoring to alert patients with an implanted device of deteriorating chronic heart failure.
AIMS To evaluate the utility of intrathoracic impedance monitoring for detecting heart failure (HF) deterioration in patients with an implanted cardiac resynchronization/defibrillation device. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients enrolled in the European InSync Sentry Observational Study were audibly alerted by a device algorithm if a decrease in intrathoracic impedance suggested fluid accumulation. ...
متن کاملHeart Failure Intrathoracic Impedance Monitoring, Audible Patient Alerts, and Outcome in Patients With Heart Failure
Background—Heart failure is associated with frequent hospitalizations, often resulting from volume overload. Measurement of intrathoracic impedance with an implanted device with an audible patient alert may detect increases in pulmonary fluid retention early. We hypothesized that early intervention could prevent hospitalizations and affect outcome. Methods and Results—We studied 335 patients wi...
متن کاملIntrathoracic impedance monitoring in patients with heart failure: correlation with fluid status and feasibility of early warning preceding hospitalization.
BACKGROUND Patients with heart failure are frequently hospitalized for fluid overload. A reliable method for chronic monitoring of fluid status is therefore desirable. We evaluated an implantable system capable of measuring intrathoracic impedance to identify potential fluid overload before heart failure hospitalization and to determine the correlation between intrathoracic impedance and standa...
متن کاملAmbulatory 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...
متن کاملCONGESTIVE 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...
