Abstract

Heart Failure (HF) is a relevant disease that leads to an overload of fluids (edema) that accumulate in the pulmonary and systemic vascular territory of the patient. The use of bioimpedance measurements have been proposed for the monitoring of edema in heart failure patients, being necessary to optimize the design of electrodes systems in medical medices. In our work we present the modelling of the supramalleolar section of the leg, and finite element simulations of bioimpedance measurements performed to monitor fluid overload in lower limbs. Results show the similarity of our simulations with performed experiments, and the validity of our model to study the optimization in the design process of bioimpedance electrodes.
