Factors associated with remote monitoring adherence for cardiovascular implantable electronic devices.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Professional societies strongly recommend remote monitoring (RM) of all cardiac implantable electronic devices, and higher RM adherence is associated with improved patient outcomes. However, adherence with RM is suboptimal.

Objective

The purpose of this study was to better understand factors associated with RM adherence.

Methods

We linked RM data from the Veterans Affairs National Cardiac Device Surveillance Program to clinical data for patients monitored between October 25, 2018, and October 24, 2020. RM adherence was defined as the percentage of days covered by an RM transmission during the study period. Patients were classified into 3 categories: complete (100% of days covered by an RM transmission), intermediate (above median in patients with <100% adhe
