Structured PICO

Does remote monitoring of ICDs impact clinical workload in ICD recipients?

Population

146 recipients of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) capable of remote monitoring

Intervention

Remote monitoring of ICD with daily transmissions or triggered by pre-specified events (e.g., arrhythmia, out-of-range lead and/or shock impedance)

Outcome

Event rates per patient per month and classification of transmitted events (clinical vs. system-related)

Remote monitoring of ICDs is feasible and imposes minimal additional burden on clinical workload, with a very low rate of triggered data transmissions by critical events.
