Improved Algorithm to Detect Fluid Accumulation via Intrathoracic Impedance Monitoring in Heart Failure Patients With Implantable Devices

Intrathoracic impedance fluid monitoring has been shown to predict worsening congestive heart failure (CHF) in patients with implantable devices. We developed and externally validated a modified algorithm to identify worsening heart failure (HF) by using intrathoracic impedance. The modified algorit...
