Implication
May ease CIED follow-up burden in practice; leaves open effects on hard outcomes pending prospective trials.
Structured PICO
Does remote monitoring of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices improve clinical management and reduce follow-up burden in patients with CIEDs?
P
Population
Patients with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) including implantable defibrillators (ICD), cardiac resynchronisation (CRT) devices, and pacemakers
I
Intervention
Wireless remote interrogation and monitoring of CIEDs
C
Comparator
Standard in-person follow-up visits
Remote monitoring of CIEDs is a safe and reliable tool that enhances patient management by enabling early detection of clinical and technical events while reducing the burden of in-person clinic visits.
Limitations
- Unresolved legal and liability issues regarding out-of-schedule alerts
- Lack of reimbursement schemes in most European countries
- Need for further studies to prove cost-effectiveness
- Unresolved questions regarding cost-effectiveness
- Legal issues regarding liability for out-of-schedule alerts
Cite This Study
Sticherling et al. (2009) conducted a review in Cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIED). Remote monitoring vs. In-person clinic visits was evaluated. Remote monitoring of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices is a reliable tool that reduces follow-up visits, enables early detection of device malfunction, and may reduce heart failure hospitalizations.
