Home-Monitoring in Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) Patients — Monitor-ICD  

Ventricular Arrythmias Clinical Trial

Official title:
Home-Monitoring in ICD Patients

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the cost-effectiveness and effectiveness of remote-monitoring compared to standard care in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillator.

Clinical Trial Description

Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) are an important and effective treatment in patients at risk of sudden cardiac death. In order to allow for a more continuous follow-up and reduced complication rates of patients with ICD, new devices including remote-monitoring (home-monitoring) features of patients with ICD have been developed. BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring service enables the doctors to safely follow up their patients with implanted cardioverter-defibrillators in a remote fashion, with fewer in-clinic consultations. This may result in a more efficient follow-up and cost-savings for the health care payer.

The objective of the current study is to investigate the cost-effectiveness and effectiveness of home-monitoring compared to standard care. ;
