Strategies to enhance remote monitoring adherence among patients with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Remote monitoring (RM) of patients with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) (pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators) has a Class 1, Level of Evidence A Heart Rhythm Society recommendation. Yet RM adherence varies widely across settings, and factors associated with variation are not understood.
