Remote monitoring of implanted cardiac devices: A guide for patients and families

Telehealth of cardiac devices for CVD treatment

“…As shown in Figure 1, RM is considered the ambulatory tracing of vital signs or device data via a telemedicine system without the patient meeting doctors or being present in the clinic (Vandenberk & Raj, 2023). RM of CIEDs provides real‐time information about abnormal heart rhythms, transferring the stored data from cardiac implants to a secured network and continuous monitoring of diagnostic data followed by automatic alerts (de Ruvo et al, 2016; Rosman et al, 2018).…”

“…Telehealth approaches mediated through noninvasive real‐time monitoring techniques enable clinicians to continuously collect progress outcomes from patients with CVD. Biosensors, an analytical device used to detect a chemical substance, can obtain vital data directly from patients' cardiac devices and transfer them to a secure server, facilitating early detection and monitoring of abnormal heart events (Piccini et al, 2016; Rosman et al, 2018). Telehealth including mHealth allows for long‐distance correspondence between patients and clinicians, education, treatment, and remote admissions (Cunningham et al, 2023).…”
