Abstrakt: Background:Patients, providers, and health systems are focused on reducing readmissions for patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Readmission after hospitalization is common and often secondary to HF decompensation, but it remains challenging to identify patients at-risk. Bioimpedance is a validated marker of thoracic fluid accumulation. We examined whether transthoracic bioimpedance, measured using a Fluid Accumulation Vest (FAV), predicted HF decompensation in advance of a clinical event in patients discharged after ADHF.
