Key result
Remote monitoring technologies may provide early indications of heart failure decompensation and allow for optimization of therapy to prevent hospitalizations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Why the study?
With the COVID-19 pandemic expanding virtual visits, understanding the converging roles of remote monitoring technologies and remote healthcare delivery in managing HF is critical.
Remote monitoring technologies and virtual visits play a critical role in the management of heart failure patients, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Supports remote monitoring in pandemic-era HF care; leaves open need for prospective trials to guide routine adoption.
The incidence of heart failure (HF) remains high and patients with HF are at risk for frequent hospitalisations. Remote monitoring technologies may provide early indications of HF decompensation and potentially allow for optimisation of therapy to prevent HF hospitalisations. The need for reliable remote monitoring technology has never been greater as the COVID-19 pandemic has led to the rapid expansion of a new mode of healthcare delivery: the virtual visit. With the convergence of remote monitoring technologies and reliable method of remote healthcare delivery, an understanding of the role of both in the management of patients with HF is critical. In this review, we outline the evidence on current remote monitoring technologies in patients with HF and highlight how these advances may benefit patients in the context of the current pandemic.
