Key result
Pacemaker home monitoring achieves ~90% transmission success, enabling remote detection of arrhythmias and lead dislocations.
Why the study?
Does Home Monitoring provide technical feasibility and clinical benefit in patients with implantable pacemakers?
Observational (n=93)
Yes
Does Home Monitoring provide technical feasibility and clinical benefit in patients with implantable pacemakers?
Home monitoring of pacemakers is technically feasible and provides clinical benefit through the remote detection of arrhythmias and lead dislocation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports feasibility of remote pacemaker monitoring; leaves open whether it improves clinical outcomes versus standard follow-up.
Wallbrück et al. (2002) conducted an observational in Pacemaker therapy (n=93). Home Monitoring (HM) was evaluated on Technical feasibility and clinical benefit of Home Monitoring. Home Monitoring in pacemaker therapy was technically feasible, with 5311 of 5911 messages successfully registered, and enabled remote detection of arrhythmia and lead dislocation.
