Benefits of Interventional Telemonitoring on Survival and Unplanned Hospitalization in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

To assess the effect of interventional specialized telemonitoring (ITM) compared to standard telemonitoring (STM) and standard of care (SC) on preventing all causes of death, cardiovascular mortality and unplanned hospitalization in heart failure (HF) patients.

Methods

We compared outcomes in three groups of HF patients followed by different modalities: SC, STM and ITM. The telemonitoring was performed by the specialized HF-cardiology staff at Toulouse University Hospital. All patients were followed with the same manner including daily weight monitoring using on-line scales, self-monitoring and reporting symptoms via a device. The difference between groups was in the management of the received alerts. In STM-group, patients were contacted by a member of telemedic
