Key result
Telemedicine BP monitoring shows clinical benefit and cost-effectiveness over standard care in chronic heart failure.
Why the study?
Continuous monitoring of chronic heart failure patients is critical due to disease instability and high prevalence, driving an ongoing search for optimal telemonitoring devices and programs.
Does remote blood pressure monitoring using telemedicine technologies improve management and reduce hospitalization risk in patients with chronic heart failure compared to standard practice?

Supports remote BP monitoring in chronic HF; leaves open need for RCTs before practice change.
Continuous monitoring of cardiovascular patients is one of the most important tasks in modern cardiology. Monitoring chronic heart failure (CHF) patients is critical because of instability, high prevalence and life-threatening nature of this disease. Currently, active search and development of optimal devices and programs for medical telemonitoring continues. This review presents the results of Russian and foreign studies on the use of invasive and non-invasive technologies for monitoring blood pressure (BP) levels and demonstrates their clinical significance. Innovative cuffed and cuffless BP monitoring devices are evaluated. The effectiveness of hypertension and CHF management using remote monitoring is compared with standard practice. The relationship between the risk of hospitalization for CHF and the monitoring is demonstrated. The paper presents data on the cost-effectiveness of using telemedicine technologies such as BP monitoring for CHF management.

Sultygova et al. (2024) conducted a review in chronic heart failure. telemedicine technologies for blood pressure monitoring vs. standard practice was evaluated. Telemedicine technologies for blood pressure monitoring in chronic heart failure patients demonstrate clinical significance and cost-effectiveness compared with standard practice.
