BIOELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE ANALYSIS FOR PREDICTION OF HOSPITAL ADMISSION DUE TO CARDIAC DECOMPENSATION IN AMBULATORY HEART FAILURE: A FOLLOW-UP STUDY

A new option in measuring bioimpedance in congestive heart failure

We read with particular attention the interesting article of Tang and Tong1 concerning the measurement of impedance for assessing volume status in heart failure (HF). This technology is useful in detecting subclinical congestion and predicting future HF events.
