Remote Monitoring of CIEDs—For Both Safety, Economy and Convenience?
Knut Tore Lappegård, Frode Moe
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.
