Utilization of remote reprogramming to manage insertable cardiac monitor arrhythmia alert burden

Introduction The increasing use of insertable cardiac monitors (ICMs) for long‐term continuous arrhythmia monitoring creates a high volume of transmissions and a significant workload for clinics.

Description
Summary:Introduction The increasing use of insertable cardiac monitors (ICMs) for long‐term continuous arrhythmia monitoring creates a high volume of transmissions and a significant workload for clinics. The ability to remotely reprogram device alert settings without in‐office patient visits was recently introduced, but its impact on clinic workflow compared to the previous ICM iteration is unknown. Methods The aim of this real‐world study was to evaluate the impact of device reprogramming capabilities on ICM alert burden and on clinic workflow. Deidentified data was obtained from US patients and a total of 19 525 receiving a LINQ II were propensity score‐matched with 19 525 implanted with LINQ TruRhythm (TR) ICM based on age and reason for monitoring. Results After reprogramming, ICM alerts reduced by 20.5% (p
