1. A method for use in a medical device system comprising a physiological sensor and an ultrafiltration therapy delivery device, the method comprising:
- sensing at least one physiological signal from an implanted medical device (IMD) in a patient;
computing a fluid status measurement of the patient using the at least one physiological signal;
delivering ultrafiltration therapy to the patient according to a therapy delivery control parameter; and
establishing a setting for the control parameter in response to the fluid status measurement;
wherein the at least one physiological parameter includes an ECG signal.
