Extrait
The new BIOTRONIK implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) family Lumax 540 is capable of measuring the intrathoracic impedance on a daily basis and transmission of impedance trend data via the Home Monitoring technology. In future, this will allow for automatic early detection of imminent decompensation at a presymptomatic stage and immediate initialization of clinical meaningful therapeutic interventions preventing heart failure related hospitalizations. The aim of this investigation is to record long-term impedance trends in heart failure patients with and without heart failure related events (hospitalizations due to acute decompensation) in order to develop algorithms for device-based early detection and warning of HF deterioration accompanied by pulmonary congestion.
