Heart failure (HF) is a major clinical, social, and economic problem. In view of the important role of fluid overload in the pathogenesis of HF exacerbation, early detection of fluid retention is of key importance in preventing emergency admissions for this reason. However, tools for monitoring volume status that could be widely used in the home setting are still missing. The physical properties of human tissues allow for the use of impedance-based noninvasive methods, whose different modifications are studied in patients with HF for the assessment of body hydration. The aim of this paper is to present the current state of knowledge on the possible applications of these methods for remote (home-based) monitoring of patients with HF.
心力衰竭（HF）是一个主要的临床、社会和经济问题。鉴于液体超负荷在心力衰竭恶化发病机制中的重要作用，早期发现液体潴留对于预防因此类原因而导致的紧急入院至关重要。然而，在家庭环境中广泛使用的监测容量状态的工具仍有待开发。人体组织的物理特性允许使用基于阻抗的无创方法，这些方法的不同改良版本已在心力衰竭患者中进行研究，以评估身体的水合状态。本文旨在介绍这些方法在远程（家庭为基础）监测心力衰竭患者方面的可能应用的最新知识状态。
