Remote monitoring of cardiac implantable electronic devices and disease management 

A 2023 study led by Professor Niraj Varma explores the evolution of remote monitoring in managing Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIEDs). The findings highlight a shift from periodic in-office appointments to continuous, personalized remote monitoring, suggesting more efficient and patient-specific care. This change could extend in-office visits to every 24 months for stable patients, impacting healthcare workflow, reimbursement, and data management.
