Why the study?
Heart failure is characterized by frequent rehospitalizations and high ambulatory care use, making remote cardiac monitoring a promising approach to detect worsening HF early and intervene prior to overt decompensation.
Does remote cardiac monitoring improve outcomes in patients with heart failure?

Remote monitoring advances for heart failure; leaves open outcome benefits and optimal implementation.
Importance: Heart failure (HF) is often characterized by an insidious disease course leading to frequent rehospitalizations and a high use of ambulatory care. Remote cardiac monitoring is a promising approach to detect worsening HF early and intervene prior to an overt decompensation. Observations: Recently, a multitude of novel technologies for remote cardiac monitoring (RCM) in patients with HF have been developed and are undergoing clinical trials. This development has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusions and Relevance: This review summarizes the major clinical trials on RCM in patients with HF and present the most recent developments in noninvasive and invasive RCM technologies.
