MEDICAL DEVICE FOR TREATING HEART FAILURE THROUGH BLOOD VOLUME REDISTRIBUTION

摘要

A first fluid status indicator of a pulmonary fluid status associated with pulmonary edema and a second fluid status indicator of a non-pulmonary fluid status can be used to provide an alert or to control a therapy for pulmonary edema. Additionally, intermittent cardiac blood volume redistribution therapy can be used to provide cardiac conditioning in heart failure patients.
