[Remote monitoring of patients with heart failure in real clinical practice]

Prevalence of chronic heart failure (CHF) is continuously growing and is associated with increased incidence of hospitalizations, morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, the increase in the number of rehospitalizations results in greater expenses and worsening of quality of life. In order to decrease the number of unscheduled hospitalizations and the death rate, the outpatient care should be improved, which can be achieved by using telemedical technologies. The aim of this review was collection and analysis of currently available information about the use of telemonitoring for patients with CHF. A systematic search and analysis of reports published from 2010 through 2020 in Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed/MEDLINE databases was performed.
