A portable bioimpedance spectroscopy system for congestive heart failure management
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a chronic medical condition that causes reduced exercise tolerance, shortness of breath, and fluid buildup in the lungs, legs, and abdomen. While CHF-related mortality has reduced in recent years, this reduction has been accompanied by an increase in …
