Table 2. Intrathoracic impedance in management of individuals with heart failure.
| Intrathoracic impedance as an index of lung fluids | Modest correlation with estimated pulmonary diastolic arterial pressure |
| Comparison of intrathoracic impedance versus body weight | Intrathoracic impedance more sensitive than body weight |
| Prognostic value of intrathoracic impedance | Modest sensitivity and modest positive predictive value |
| Value of remote intrathoracic impedance monitoring | Good correlation in individuals with heart failure and chronic kidney disease |
