| Popis: | BACKGROUND A benefit of automatically transmitting or "wireless" CIEDs (W-CIED) is the prompt detection of device malfunction and arrhythmias. We hypothesized that the use of W-CIEDs would improve the efficiency of remote monitoring by decreasing unnecessary CIED remote transmissions because of the automatic detection of abnormalities. OBJECTIVE To compare the frequency of patient-initiated transmissions in patients with W-CIEDs versus non-wireless CIEDs (NW-CIED) at a single pediatric and congenital heart center. METHODS Retrospective cohort study of patients with W-CIEDs followed over a 2-year period compared to a similar cohort of patients with NW-CIED. All CIED remote transmissions during were reviewed for indication and outcome. RESULTS The W-CIED cohort had 87 patients; mean age 20 ± 13 years; NW-CIED cohort had 220 patients; mean age 22 ± (13) years. The mean number of symptomatic patient-initiated transmissions per patient was 0.93 ± 2.65 in the W-CIED cohort versus 0.39 ± 0.64 in the NW-CIED cohort (p ≤ .001). The mean number of asymptomatic patient-initiated transmission sent per patient in the W-CIED cohort was 1.86 ± 2.59 versus 0.81 ± 1.41 in the NW-CIED cohort (p ≤ .0001). Type of device, age, and presence of congenital heart disease were not significantly associated with the incidence of patient-initiated remote monitoring transmissions. CONCLUSIONS The frequency of patient-initiated transmission was higher in the W-CIED cohort, contradictory to the study hypothesis. This may reflect a lack of patient understanding of the benefit or functionality of W-CIEDs and may be mitigated by education to both providers and patients. |
