1. A system comprising:

  • a first implantable acoustic transducer, wherein the first implantable acoustic transducer is configured to receive transmitted acoustic energy from a thorax region of a subject;

    a second implantable acoustic transducer, wherein the second implantable acoustic transducer is configured to transmit the acoustic energy to the thorax region;

    a memory circuit; and

    a processor communicatively coupled to the first acoustic transducer, the second acoustic transducer, and the memory circuit, wherein the processor includes;

    a parameter module configured to measure a parameter of the received acoustic energy; and

    a trending module configured to trend the measured parameter and to provide an indication of pulmonary edema status of the subject using the parameter trend.
