A health care system acquires data determines whether a patient is at risk of hypervolemia or hypovolemia. The method comprises (a) acquiring from a device memory a patient's absolute intrathoracic impedance data over a pre-specified time period, (b) determining a running average of the intrathoracic impedance data over the pre-specified time period, and (c) determining by the system whether the running average of the intrathoracic impedance data over the pre-specified time period exceeds one of a first and second range, the first range being a higher value boundary of intrathoracic electrical impedance and the second range being a lower value boundary of intrathoracic electrical impedance. 1. A medical system for determining whether a patient is at risk of exhibiting excessive fluid or dehydration and for delivering treatment in response thereto , the system comprising: a processor configured to:', 'a) determine an average of the intrathoracic impedance data over the time period;', '(b) define a target impedance range having a lower bound defined by a first range and an upper bound defined by a second range, the first range comprising lower value intrathoracic electrical impedances and the second range comprising higher value intrathoracic electrical impedances;', '(c) determine whether the average of the intrathoracic impedance data is outside of the target impedance range; and', '(d) in response to the intrathoracic impedance data being outside the target impedance range c, determine a level of heart failure (HF) event risk; and', 'means for adjusting therapy delivered to the patient by a cardiac pacemaker in response to step (d), wherein the therapy is adjusted by switching to one of fusion pacing, biventricular pacing, and multisite pacing delivered by the cardiac pacemaker., "an implantable medical having a device memory storing a patient's absolute intrathoracic impedance data over a time period;"}2. The system of wherein the processor determines that the ...
