Remote monitoring allows early detection of atrial fibrillation and, based on simulations, may reduce 2-year stroke risk by 9-18% (absolute reduction 0.2-0.6%) compared with conventional inter-visit intervals.

Overview

May support remote monitoring for timely anticoagulation; leaves open confirmation of stroke benefit in prospective trials.

Structured PICO

Does remote monitoring improve early detection of atrial fibrillation and reduce stroke risk in patients with cardiac devices?

P
Population
Patients with cardiac devices (pacemakers or defibrillators) capable of remote monitoring
I
Intervention
Remote monitoring (Home Monitoring) for early detection of atrial fibrillation
C
Comparator
Conventional inter-visit intervals (e.g., 6-12 months) or standard care
O
Outcome
Early detection of atrial fibrillation, stroke rate, and hospitalizations

Remote monitoring of cardiac devices facilitates early detection of atrial fibrillation, which may allow for timely anticoagulation and reduction in stroke risk and hospitalizations.
