Edema index-guided disease management improves 6-month outcomes of patients with acute heart failure Abstract Background: The efficacy of heart failure (HF) management programs are compromised by the challenge of early identification of patients at imminent risk. In this study, we tested whether integration of edema index (EI)-guided management improved the 6-month outcomes of HF patients under multidisciplinary care. Methods and Results: In total, 159 patients with acute HF were randomized into control, case management (CM), and EI-guided CM (EI) groups (n=53 in each group). In the EI group, a management algorithm was designed based on the measured EI. Compared  to...

Edema index established by a segmental multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis provides prognostic value in acute heart failure
Abstract
Aims: A segmental multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (SMBIA) is a noninvasive and reproducible modality for estimating the fluid state. The aim of this study was to test whether the SMBIA-derived edema index (EI) provides prognostic value in patients hospitalized due to acute heart failure (HF, AHF).
Methods: To estimate the 6-month prognostic value of the pre-discharge EI in patients hospitalized due to AHF, 112 patients were consecutively enrolled. Bothpre-discharge EI and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) were measured. Outcome follow-up focused HF-related...
