1. A system to detect impending acute cardiac decompensation of a patient, the patient having a skin and an extracellular fluid, the system comprising:

  • impedance circuitry to measure, a hydration signal of the patient and a respiration signal of the patient, wherein the hydration signal corresponds to a tissue hydration of the patient; and

    a processor system comprising a computer readable memory in communication with the impedance circuitry, wherein the computer readable memory of the processor system embodies instructions to combine the hydration signal and the respiration signal to detect the impending acute cardiac decompensation.
