Supports remote CIED monitoring feasibility; leaves open need for RCTs to assess clinical outcomes versus in-person care.
Lim et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) (n=57). Remote monitoring via Medtronic CareLink network was evaluated on Compliance to scheduled remote transmissions (percentage on time). Remote monitoring of cardiac implantable electronic devices was safe and feasible, with 73.7% of scheduled transmissions occurring on time and only 1.8% requiring clinical intervention.
