Remote Dielectric Sensing (ReDS) Assisted Diuresis in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure

Summary

This study evaluates the use of a wearable vest capable of non-invasively measuring lung fluid content in hospitalized patients with heart failure

* Patient is at least 18 years of age
* Patient physically suitable for ReDS measurement
* GFR\>25
* Initial ReDS Measurement \>35%

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patient characteristics excluded from approved use of ReDS system: height less than 155cm or greater than 190cm, BMI \<22 or \>39, chest circumference \<80cm or \>115cm , or flail chest
* Evidence of focal lung lesions on history, physical exam or chest x-ray, including history of pulmonary embolism, active pneumonia, or known lung nodule
* Chronic renal failure (GFR\<25)
* Prior cardiac surgery within 2 months of index admission
* Patient has a ventricular assist device or has had a cardiac transplantation
* Patients in cardiogenic shock at admission requiring inotropic support
* Congenital heart malformations or intra-thoracic mass that would affect right-lung anatomy (e.g dextrocardia, lung carcinoma, or pacemaker box in the right chest)
