Evaluation of Synergistic Effects of Resynchronization Therapy and a β‐Blocker Up‐titration Strategy Based on a Predefined Patient‐Management Program: The RESTORE Study

This study might provide important information about the benefit of a predefined management program for β‐blocker up‐titration in patients receiving CRT. Moreover, assessment of health‐care utilization and the consumption of resources will allow estimating the potential utility of remote monitoring by means of an automated telemedicine system in facilitating the titration of β‐blockers in comparison with a standard in‐hospital approach.
