Thoracic impedance measures tissue characteristics in the vicinity of the electrodes, not intervening lung water: implications for heart failure monitoring

The rationale for intrathoracic impedance (Z) detection of worsening heart failure (HF) presupposes that changes in Z reflect changes in pulmonary congestion, but is confounded by poor specificity in clinical trials. We therefore tested the hypothesis that Z is primarily affected by tissue/water con...
