The number of follow-up visits for patients with a cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CEID) exceeds 5.8 million visits per year, and will continue to increase as more CEIDs (pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), or cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices) are implanted. As the number of device implantations continues to grow, subsequently increasing the need for device follow-up visits, clinics will look for treatment and management solutions in an attempt to maximize clinical resources and improve patient care.
The Society is pleased to provide education and awareness around the potential role of remote monitoring as it pertains to both patient safety and the ability to realize increased efficiencies in the care, management, and treatment of patients with implantable devices.
