In heart failure patients with a CRT-D, remote monitoring did not improve clinical outcomes but safely reduced healthcare resource utilization by decreasing in-office visits.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Remote monitoring does not reduce death or CV/device hospitalizations in new CRT-D patients; supports safe reduction in in-office visits.
