ABVANCED THORACIC FLUID MONITORING CAPABILITY WITH IMPEDANCE

摘要

Advanced thoracic fluid monitoring capabilities using impedance are disclosed. An implantable medical device used for detection of changes in impedance in a patient can have means for measuring impedances of the patient in a supine position and in an upright position. Impedance differences caa be generated which correspond to a diurnal delta value showing impedance differences between the supine and upright positions.
