Popis: Patients receiving dual-chamber implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (DR-ICD) therapy are at risk of developing atrial arrhythmia because of the increased rate of ventricular pacing and the progression of heart failure. Remote monitoring (RM) may identify the patients at highest risk of adverse events such as atrial arrhythmias. A total of 283 patients with 91,632 remote transmissions during a 15-month follow-up (FU) period enrolled in the LION registry were analysed. The parameters retrieved included the pacing mode, lower rate limit, percentage of atrial (%AP) and ventricular pacing (%VP), and percentage of atrial arrhythmia burden (%AB). In 92.7% of patients, the devices were initially programmed in DDD(R) or DDI(R), with changes of the pacing mode in 19.3% only. The lower rate limit remained stable in 80.4% of patients. At the first transmission, 8.7% of patients suffered from RM-detected atrial arrhythmia, which reached 36% during FU. The %AP was not associated with increased AB (p = 0.67), but the %VP was different in patients developing RM-detected atrial arrhythmia (26.9% vs. 13.7%, p < 0.00001). The %VP increased in 105 patients (significance level of α = 0.05), and 11 patients crossed the border of 50% VP. The LION substudy supports the concept of using RM in a real-world DR-ICD population. Remote monitoring of DR-ICDs allows for the quantification of the course of the pacing parameters and AB. Based on these observations, device parameters can be adjusted and optimized.
