Background: Remote monitoring (RM) is recommended for the ongoing management of patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). Despite its benefits, RM adoption has increased the workload for cardiac rhythm management teams. This study used a modified Delphi method to develop a consensus on optimal RM management for adult patients with a CIED in the UK.

Objective: This study aims to describe RM transmissions indicating death and propose a management strategy for services.
Methods: The study included consecutive ambulatory outpatients whose deaths were detected via RM.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the occurrence of premature battery depletion in subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) devices, which has raised concerns among users and manufacturers alike.
- - A retrospective analysis examined data from 1,054 S-ICD devices across various centers in Europe and North America, specifically looking at battery failures within 60 months.
- - Findings revealed that 3.5% of potentially affected S-ICD devices experienced premature battery depletion within an average follow-up of 49 months, confirming the depletion is limited to devices under advisory.
Avian migratory processes are typically precisely oriented, yet vagrants are frequently recorded outside their normal range. Wind displaced vagrants often show corrective behaviour, and as an appropriate response is likely adaptive. We investigated the physiological response to vagrancy in passerines.
