Does not support routine use of standard telemonitoring parameters in HF; leaves open whether novel invasive metrics could improve outcomes.
Does telemonitoring and remote monitoring improve outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure?
While telemonitoring in heart failure is feasible, current routinely assessed parameters do not significantly improve patient outcomes, highlighting the need for more sensitive invasive hemodynamic monitoring.
Hasan et al. (2011) conducted a review in chronic heart failure. Telemonitoring and remote monitoring was evaluated. Telemonitoring and remote monitoring in heart failure are feasible, but routinely assessed parameters have not been shown to impact patient outcomes.
