Abstract

Cardiac implantable electronic devices such as pacemakers and defibrillators are increasingly monitored by systems transmitting information directly from the patient to the hospital. This may increase safety and patient satisfaction and also under certain circumstances represent an economic advantage. The review summarizes some of the recent research in the field of remote monitoring of cardiac devices.

Highlights

  • Remote device management is recommended for certain cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) patients and should be considered for all [5,6]

  • Remote monitoring of CIEDs can affect hospital and patient economy in a number of different ways, and remote monitoring (RM) has the potential to be economically beneficial for most clinics, the extent of this must be evaluated in the local setting

  • There are a number of challenges and possible complications associated with remote monitoring of CIEDs

Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. Cussed later, when and how the information downloaded is processed by the clinic will affect a number of aspects regarding safety, economy, and patient satisfaction. How the device function and clinical status are classified is determined by the clinic when setting up event that has prompted a “yellow alert” to the hospital. Tostatus how the alerts are when conveyed to the device function and clinicaldevice status areThis classified is determined by clinic setting up by the clinic when setting up the system for the individual patient. From a number of perspectives, remote monitoring of CIEDs may offer obvious advantages when it comes to safety, economy, and patient convenience. The paper gives a summary of recent research in this field
