Remote Programming of Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices 2
Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIEDs) such as pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators need to be regularly and systematically interrogated and reprogrammed to ensure proper functioning. While remote monitoring allows for partial interrogation at a remote location, full CIED check-up and reprogramming is only possible when the patient visits a cardiologist capable of performing device programming. This can be challenging for patients and may cause unnecessary delays, particularly in settings of limited resources, enforced physical distancing, and quarantines. In this study we aim to evaluate our previously validated remote programming solution (REACT study, NCT05366660) in outpatient device clinics which are close to the patient's home but remote from the CIED expert.
