Does remote monitoring of LVAD parameters aid in the early detection and treatment of complications in patients with end-stage heart failure?
Remote monitoring of LVAD parameters is a feasible technology that may assist in the early detection and management of outpatient complications, serving as a useful supplement to routine clinical visits.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support remote LVAD monitoring feasibility; leaves open need for larger prospective outcome trials.
Pektok et al. (2013) conducted an observational in End-stage heart failure (n=5). Remote monitoring of HeartAssist-5 LVAD parameters was evaluated on Alarms and clinical events. Remote monitoring of the HeartAssist-5 LVAD in 5 patients over a median 253 days detected 39 alarms, facilitating early detection and management of clinical issues.
