Abstract
Remote device (CIED) monitoring has become a mainstay of clinical practice involving implanted devices such as pacemakers, defibrillators, and implantable loop recorders. The aims of remote monitoring are to provide accurate, timely, and economical information about both device functions and disease status. Remote monitoring is an integral component of comprehensive CIED management and, as an extension, serves as an additional important tool in device performance surveillance.
While this chapter is unrevised from the 1st edition, and some of the statistics are out of date and some of the company systems have changed, the concepts and directions remain intact.
