Right ventricular systolic pressure predicts outcomes in patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators.

Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-D) are a cornerstone of the treatment of heart failure and wide QRS. In such subjects, there is often concomitant right ventricular (RV) dysfunction.

Aims: We aimed to assess whether there is an association between RV function parameters and all-cause mortality or CRT-D therapies.

Remote Supervision to Decrease Hospitalization Rate (RESULT) study in patients with implanted cardioverter-defibrillator.

Aims: The number of patients with heart failure (HF) and implantable cardiac electronic devices has been growing steadily. Remote monitoring care (RC) of cardiac implantable electronic devices can facilitate patient-healthcare clinical interactions and prompt preventive activities to improve HF outcomes. However, studies that have investigated the efficacy of remote monitoring have shown mixed findings, with better results for the system including daily verification of transmission.
