ABSTRACT
Heart failure (HF) is a major clinical, social and economic problem. Due to the significant role of fluid overload in the pathogenesis of HF exacerbation, early detection of fluid retention is of key importance in preventing emergency admissions for this reason. However, tools for monitoring of volume status that could be widely used in a home setting are still missing.
The physical properties of human tissues allow for the use of impedance based non-invasive methods, whose different modifications are tested in HF patients for the assessment of body hydration. The aim of this paper is to present current knowledge on the possible use of these methods for remote, home monitoring of HF patients.
