Patient and Clinician Perspectives on Alert-Based Remote Monitoring-First Care for Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Devices: Semistructured Interview Study Within the Veterans Health Administration.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) typically attend in-person CIED clinic visits at least annually, paired with remote monitoring (RM). As the CIED data available through in-person CIED clinic visits and RM are nearly identical, the 2023 Heart Rhythm Society expert consensus statement introduced "alert-based RM," an RM-first approach where patients with CIEDs that are consistently and continuously connected to RM, in the absence of recent alerts and other cardiac comorbidities, could attend in-person CIED clinic visits every 24 months or ultimately only as clinically prompted by actionable events identified on RM. However, there is no published information about patient and clinician perspectives on barriers and facilitators to such an RM
