Why the study?
To discuss the capabilities of modern means of personalised telemonitoring for patients with arterial hypertension and chronic heart failure.
Telemonitoring of blood pressure and pulmonary circulatory dynamics shows potential to improve outpatient management of hypertension and heart failure.
May support outpatient hypertension and heart failure management; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized trials before practice change.
Objective of the Review: To discuss the capabilities of modern means of personalised telemonitoring for patients with arterial hypertension and chronic heart failure (CHF). Key Points. Remote monitoring with the use of personalised telemonitoring devices, video consultations by medical professionals, sharing printed information on digital media, self-checks by patients can reduce the number of hospital visits significantly, facilitate prompt therapy adjustments, prevent severe cardiovascular events, and improve compliance. Currently, we have a wide choice of means for blood pressure telemonitoring; systems for remote monitoring of patients with CHF (including pulmonary circulation monitoring) are being developed. Conclusion. Extended use of telemonitoring for patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) will improve the quality of medical care. Further studies to identify indications for telemonitoring and remote monitoring protocols for patients with CVDs are needed.
