Abstract
Systems and methods include differential diagnosis for acute heart failure to provide treatment to a patient including determining whether the patient has cardiac volume overload, determining whether the patient has decreased abdominal venous system volume, and providing the appropriate treatment in response to the determinations. A multi-sensor system may be used to determine cardiac volume and abdominal venous system volume. Fluid redistribution treatment may be provided when cardiac volume overload is accompanied by a decrease in abdominal venous system volume. Fluid accumulation treatment may be provided when cardiac volume overload is not accompanied by a decrease in abdominal venous system volume.
