Official title
Safety of Body Composition Analysis Using Bioimpedance in Heart Failure Patients With Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs)
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to define the safety of using bioimpedance for analysis of body composition in heart failure patients with ICD devices. The Biospace America InBody 520 scale, using direct segmental multifrequency bioimpedance, will be utilized to assess patients' fat mass, lean muscle mass, and edema status. Although the Biospace America InBody 520 scale is routinely used to analyze body composition in various settings including the Ahmanson-UCLA Cardiomyopathy clinic, due to theoretical concerns of safety, bioimpedance has not been routinely used in patients with ICDs. The investigators hope that this study will allow us to routinely analyze body composition in heart failure patients with ICDs, information which can be used to help guide dietary, exercise, and medical prescriptions for the investigators heart failure patients.
