Shownotes    "The concept of monitoring congestion through impedance is novel and has the potential to identify HF deterioration earlier than relying on patients symptoms. Several patient cases are presented. Data of initially classified false positive and false negative alarms should be carefully evaluated as they may contain important clinical information. Additionally, AF burden, patient activity and HRV trend data may also identify periods of HF worsening."
