Does telemonitoring reduce all-cause deaths or unplanned hospitalisations in HF patients?

Telemonitoring did not result in a significantly lower rate of all-cause deaths or unplanned hospitalisations in HF patients. The pre-specified subgroup results suggest the telemonitoring approach improves clinical outcomes in selected populations but need further confirmation.
