Aim: The remote monitoring (RM) of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) is standard of care. We describe an organizational and projection RM workload model. Methods: At the time of the analysis (2015), 3995 CIED patients were followed-up; 1582 (40.5%) with RM. All RM transmissions (Tx) have been gathered in five event types. Results: We received 10,406 Tx, classified as: 128 (1.2%) red alerts, 141 (1.3%) atrial fibrillation episodes, 1944 (18.6%) yellow alerts, 403 (3.9%) lost Tx (disconnected/noncompliant patients) and 7790 (75.0%) Tx ‘OK' (un-eventful Tx). At the time of 100% of remote CIED managed, we can expect a total of 25,990 Tx/year. Conclusion: We provide a descriptive analysis of remote monitoring management and workload estimation in a large cohort of CIED patients.

Abstract Background: Expert guidance from scientific societies and regulatory agencies recommend a framework of principles for frequency of in-person evaluations and remote monitoring for patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices. However, there are limited data regarding adherence to recommendations among paediatric electrophysiologists, and there are no data regarding cardiac implantable electronic device-related ancillary testing. Methods: To assess current clinical practices for cardiac implantable electronic device in-person evaluation, remote monitoring, and cardiac implantable electronic device-related ancillary testing, the Paediatric and Congenital Electrophysiology Society members were surveyed. The main outcome measures were variations in frequency of in person evaluation, frequency of remote monitoring, and cardiac implantable electronic device-related ancillary testing. Results: All respondents performed in-person evaluation at least once a year, but <50% of respondents performed an in-person evaluation within 2 weeks of cardiac implantable electronic device implantation. Remote monitoring was performed every 3 months for pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators by 71 and 75% respondents, respectively. Follow-up echocardiography was performed every 2–3 years by 53% respondents for patients with >50% ventricular pacing. Majority of respondents (75%) did not perform either an exercise stress test or ambulatory Holter monitoring or chest X-ray (65%) after cardiac implantable electronic device implantation. Conclusion: This survey identified significant practice variations in cardiac implantable electronic device in- person evaluation, remote monitoring, and ancillary testing practices among paediatric electrophysiologists. Cardiac implantable electronic device management may be optimised by development of a paediatric-specific guidelines for follow-up and ancillary testing.
