Effectiveness of remote monitoring of cardiac implantable electronic devices in detection and treatment of clinical and device-related cardiovascular events in daily practice: The HomeGuide Registry

摘要

We read with great interest the article recently published by Dr Ricci et aO entitled 'Effectiveness of remote monitoring of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) in the detection and treatment of clinical and device-related cardiovascular events in daily practice: the HomeGuide Registry'. The major favourable impact of Home monitoring (HM) in the management of patients with CIEDs, and particularly in patients with implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICDs), is now well established, as HM reduces the mean reaction time to major cardiovascular events and device malfunction than hospital visits.
