Effects of remote monitoring of cardiac implantable electronic devices after stroke or transient ischemic attack.

Aims: Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) recipients who experienced an ischemic cerebral event may particularly benefit from continuous remote monitoring. We aimed to assess the effect of remote monitoring on the occurrence of 1-year serious adverse events in CIED recipients after ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA).

Methods: Patients were eligible if they suffered a TIA/stroke.
