Why the study?
Remote monitoring for cardiac implantable electronic devices reduces in-clinic visit burden, but its long-term clinical outcomes compared to no remote monitoring required investigation.
Does remote monitoring reduce all-cause mortality in patients with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator or cardiac resynchronisation therapy-defibrillator?
Does remote monitoring reduce all-cause mortality in patients with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator or cardiac resynchronisation therapy-defibrillator?
Remote monitoring in patients with ICDs or CRT-Ds is associated with significantly lower all-cause mortality and fewer heart failure hospitalizations.

Supports RM consideration in ICD/CRT-D patients; leaves open need for randomized confirmation before practice change.
