Can a biventricular icd reading show if heart failure is worse in someone with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy? what would it show?

ICD: A biv icd is therapy for heart failure and poor left ventricular function. One of the types on the market has an impedance device in it which can predict changes in fluid status. All biv icds do not have this particular technology. Changes in chest impedance can indicate changes in fluid volumes in the chest and heart failure status.

May be, however, : The best option is to track the progression using multifunction cardiogram! http://en.M.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/multifunction_cardiogram.
