Abstract
Heart failure decompensation is detected by sensing at least one physiological signal. Values of at least two different heart failure variables are derived using one or more physiological signals and a threshold for the first heart failure variable is adjusted in response to the value of the second heart failure variable. The value of the first heart failure variable is compared to first threshold for detecting a heart failure condition.
