Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Shortness of breath as the most prominent presenting symptom
* Age greater ≥ 45
* Willingness, ability, and commitment to participate in the study

Exclusion Criteria

* Patients with any active implantable medical device
* Patients who are pregnant or lactating
* Patients who have tattoos and or non-intact skin directly under the electrode position
* Patients who have had past allergic reactions to medical grade adhesives
* Patients that are dialysis dependent
* Patients who have had a lung lobectomy
* Patients in whom the shortness of breath presentation is due to obvious non HF cause such as acute chest trauma
* Patients who have received nitrates (sub-lingual, topical or IV), diuretics or vasopressors ≥ 1 hour prior to IMED-4 Recording
* Patients who decline to have their backs photographed with the IMED-4 device in position
* Patients who are receiving invasive or non-invasive positive airway pressure (PAP) ventilation prior to or following presentation to the ED (Self presentation or admission via EMS).
* Severe co-morbidity or poor general physical/mental health that, in the opinion of the Investigator, will not allow the subject to be a good study candidate (i.e. other disease processes, mental capacity, substance abuse, incarceration, shortened life expectancy, etc.)
