Abstract

Purpose of Review

This review offers an overview of the evidence in diagnostic and therapeutic applications of remote monitoring implantable devices.

Recent Findings

Remote monitoring of cardiac implantable devices has become more and more popular in recent years as healthcare is moving towards a more patient centralized system. For heart failure patients with an ICD or pacemaker, there is controversial evidence regarding improvements in the clinical outcome, e.g., reduction of hospitalization rates or overall mortality. New developments as hemodynamic remote monitoring via measurement of the pulmonary artery pressure are promising technical achievements showing encouraging results. In cardiac remote monitoring of syncope and arrhythmias, implantable loop recorder plays an important role in diagnostic algorithms.

Summary

Although there is controversial evidence according to remote monitoring of implantable devices, its use is rapidly expanding, giving healthcare providers the opportunity to react promptly to worsening of their patients. Adequate evaluation of the data created by remote monitoring systems remains an unsolved challenge of contemporary healthcare services.
