Abstract
Heart failure is one of the most frequent diseases and a leading cause for hospital admission and death in Germany and other industrialized countries. Two types of impedance sensors are presented that promise to allow improved disease monitoring and hence better therapy adaptation in heart failure patients with an implanted defibrillator: thoracic impedance to estimate the lung fluid status of the patient, and intracardiac impedance for assessment of cardiac hemodynamics.
