Purpose Of Review:
The goal of this review is to describe the current evidence available for remote monitoring devices available for patients with chronic heart failure, and also detail practical clinical recommendations for implementing these tools in daily clinical practice.
Recent Findings:
Several devices ranging from sophisticated multiparametric algorithms in defibrillators, implantable pulmonary artery pressure sensors, and wearable devices to measure thoracic impedance can be utilized as important adjunctive tools to reduce the risk of heart failure hospitalization in patients with chronic heart failure. Pulmonary artery pressure sensors provide the most granular data regarding hemodynamic status, while alerts from wearable devices for thoracic impedance and defibrillator-based algorithms increase the likelihood of worsening clinical status while also having high negative predictive value when values are within normal range.
Summary:
Multiple device-based monitoring strategies are available to reduce longitudinal risk in patients with chronic heart failure. Further studies are needed to best understand a practical pathway to integrate multiple signals of data for early clinical decompensation risk predictionVideo abstract: http://links.lww.com/HCO/A95.
