Article Synopsis
- Researchers aimed to integrate a predictive algorithm using data from cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) to assess the risk of heart failure hospitalization (HFH) within 30 days in patients.
- They monitored 358 patients over a 90-day period, identifying that 20% were at high risk based on remote CIED transmissions, with clinicians following up and assessing symptoms.
- The findings showed that clinicians successfully contacted nearly all high-risk patients, with over two-thirds receiving medical interventions, indicating promise for enhancing heart failure management; however, further randomized trials are necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions.
Background: Implantable loop recorders (ILRs) are increasingly placed for arrhythmia detection. However, historically, ≈75% of ILR alerts are false positives, requiring significant time and effort for adjudication. The LINQII and LUX-Dx are remotely reprogrammable ILRs with dual-stage algorithms using artificial intelligence to reduce false positives, but their utility in routine clinical practice has not been studied.

However, the effect of HBCR on mortality in clinical practice settings is less clear. Therefore, we sought to compare mortality rates in HBCR participants versus nonparticipants.
