Prospective evaluation of the multisensor HeartLogic algorithm for heart failure monitoring.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The HeartLogic algorithm measures data from multiple implantable cardioverter-defibrillator-based sensors and combines them into a single index. The associated alert has proved to be a sensitive and timely predictor of impending heart failure (HF) decompensation.

Hypothesis

We describe a multicenter experience of remote HF management by means of HeartLogic and appraise the value of an alert-based follow-up strategy.

Methods

The alert was activated in 104 patients. All patients were followed up according to a standardized protocol that included remote data reviews and patient phone contacts every month and at the time of alerts. In-office examinations were performed every 6 months or when deemed necessary.

Results

During a median follow-up of 13 (10-1
