520 3 |a The rationale for intrathoracic impedance (Z) detection of worsening heart failure (HF) presupposes that changes in Z reflect changes in pulmonary congestion, but is confounded by poor specificity in clinical trials. We therefore tested the hypothesis that Z is primarily affected by tissue/water content in proximity to electrodes rather than by lung water distribution between electrodes through the use of a new computational model for deriving the near-field impedance contributions from the various electrodes. Six sheep were implanted with a left atrial pressure (LAP) monitor and a cardiac resynchronization therapy device which measured Z from six vectors comprising of five electrodes. The vector-based Z was modelled as the summation of the near-field impedances of the two electrodes forming the vector. During volume expansion an acute increase in LAP resulted in simultaneous reductions in the near-field impedances of the intra-cardiac electrodes, while the subcutaneous electrode showed several hours of lag (all p<0.001). In contrast, during the simulated formation of device-pocket edema (induced by fluid injection) the near-field impedance of the subcutaneous electrode had an instantaneous response, while the intra-cardiac electrodes had a minimal inconsistent response. This study suggests that the primary contribution to the vector based Z is from the tissue/water in proximity to the individual electrodes. This novel finding may help explain the limited utility of Z for detecting worsening HF.
