Pacemaker Implant Telemonitoring Study

All patients who were scheduled for implant with a pacemaker between August of 2014 and October of 2015 and met all the inclusion criteria (age 18 years or older, ability to give informed consent and to operate the home monitor, life expectancy > 1 year) and none of the exclusion criteria (scheduled for implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), participation in other trials) were invited to participate. A total of 76 patients were screened and 50 patients were included and randomized to either telemonitoring (TM, n = 25) or hospital monitoring (HM, n = 25). No changes to methods were performed after trial commencement.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
