Abstract
Background: A growing body of evidence suggests that fluid accumulation plays a key role in the pathophisiology of heart failure (HF) and that the volume status assessment represents a clinical challenge. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a simple, non-invasive and accurate patient-bed tool to detect body hydration. We investigate whether BIA is able to maintain the dry clinical profile (DP) and improve outcome in ambulatory advanced HF patients. Methods and Results: We enrolled 77 patients hospitalized for acute HF (III-IV NYHA class) and discharged after treatment in clinical compensation and dry weight.
