1. An implantable medical device (IMD) comprising:

  • a mechanism operable to monitor patient postures;

    a mechanism operable to monitor patient thoracic impedance values;

    a mechanism to correlate individual postures with individual thoracic impedance values; and

    ,a mechanism to detect heart failure from the correlated individual postures and individual thoracic impedance values in view of a patient condition prior to implantation of the IMD.
