Cardiovascular medicine is witnessing an explosion in capability for remote monitoring of implantable electronic devices, which provide great potential for improved clinical outcomes as well as more efficient and cost-effective care.

There are numerous devices now utilised in remote monitoring, including external ECG recorders, loop recorders, pacemakers, cardiac defibrillators, and cardiac resynchronisation systems. Cardiovascular physicians, allied health professionals and office staff need to become well versed in management of the new wealth of data these devices provide, design and use of appropriate systems to support monitoring technology, and its proper utilisation of remotely acquired data in clinical decision making, as well as the demands for patient education and orientation to assure compliance.

Remote Patient Monitoring in Cardiology discusses the clinical utility of each remote monitoring technology, discusses the current data pertaining to each applications and outlines the challenges present in clinical practice in incorporating these technologies, and provides case vignettes that highlight important diagnostic concepts and therapeutic implications through real world examples of the utilisation of remote monitoring technology. The book includes s review of currently established at and on studies in progress pertaining to each technology so that the reader is fully updated the state-of-the-art in this rapidly emerging area.
