Telemedical monitoring in patients with inborn cardiac disease - experience of a tertiary care centre.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The number of cardiologically relevant genetic findings will continue to increase. This is due to the use of high-throughput sequencing techniques and the critical role of incidental findings in cardiac disease genes. Telemedicine can be a useful diagnostic tool to monitor the heart rhythm of patients with inborn cardiac diseases.

Methods

Patients were screened once they had been referred to our outpatient department for rare cardiac diseases between January 2020 and May 2022. Those patients who underwent genetic testing and were consequently diagnosed with a genetic disorder were included in this study. Their medical records were evaluated regarding implanted cardiac electronic devices and findings in the telemedical monitoring.

Results
