Transmission Rate of Remote Monitoring and Mortality in Patients With Pacemaker.

ABSTRACT: Background: Remote monitoring of cardiac implantable electronic devices improves clinical outcomes, but data on the association between the transmission rate (TR) of the remote monitoring, calculated in percentage as the ratio between days of transmission and days of follow-up after remote monitoring introduction, and death in patients with a pacemaker are limited. Methods and Results: In this single-center retrospective observational study, we investigated 180 patients with a newly implanted pacemaker capable of using a specific remote monitoring system with daily transmission (79.5±8.8 years, men 50.6%). The study endpoint was all-cause death. During the follow-up period (median 2.7 years), 33 all-cause deaths were reported, and the TR was significantly lower
