Usefulness of remote monitoring for the early detection of back-up mode in implantable cardioverter defibrillators.

CONCLUSIONS: Reversion to back-up mode is a very rare event, accounting for 0.06% of total alerts; remote monitoring facilitates the early detection of this critical event to resolve the problem faster than the next scheduled follow-up. Remote monitoring can prevent serious damage to the patient and avoids systematic ambulatory control of the ICD after each radiotherapy session. PMID: 33526375 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
