Sudden cardiac death (SCD) persists as one of challenging problems in cardiology and cardiac surgery, only in Russia costing more than 350,000 deaths annually. Arrhythmias and ischemic heart disease (IHD) prevail as SCD immediate direct mechanisms. Unfortunately, timely diagnostics of heart diseases is far below the satisfactory level. On the other hand, the number of patients to be followed up is increasing faster than the healthcare capacity. To close the gap, new approaches to diagnostics and prophylaxis of cardiovascular diseases are needed, involving innovative medical technologies. Implantable and external devices for heart arrhythmia and CAD early diagnostics are extensively used in modern cardiologic praxis. Impetuous development of this technique in combination with information and telecommunication technologies during last decade led to origination of completely new medical service based on mobile remote monitoring of patients. Relying on the experience in remote patient monitoring with implantable devices for recording heart electrical activity, Russian Scientific Society.

Background: Remote patient monitoring implies continuous follow-up of health-related parameters of patients outside healthcare facilities. Patients share health-related data with their healthcare unit and obtain feedback (which may be automatically generated if data are within a predefined range). The goals of remote patient monitoring are improvements for patients and reduced healthcare costs.

The Alertapnée study followed 555 adults with obstructive sleep apnea treated with CPAP and found that the occurrence of Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR) was linked to a 14-fold increase in the risk of significant cardiac events (SCE) after one year. However, the progression and clinical significance of CSR episodes over time remain unclear. This ancillary study aimed to assess CSR progression and clinical outcomes during a second year of follow-up in 66 patients who had experienced at least one CSR episode in the first year.

Background: The use of telemonitoring to manage renal function in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is recommended by health authorities. However, despite these recommendations, the adoption of telemonitoring by both health care professionals and patients faces numerous challenges.
Objective: This study aims to identify barriers and facilitators in the implementation of a telemonitoring program for patients with CKD, as perceived by health care professionals and patients, and to explore factors associated with the adoption of the program.

Background: Among cardiovascular diseases, adult patients with congenital heart disease represent a population that has been continuously increasing, which is mainly due to improvement of the pathophysiological framing, including the development of surgical and reanimation techniques. However, approximately 20% of these patients will require surgery in adulthood and 40% of these cases will necessitate reintervention for residual defects or sequelae of childhood surgery. In this field, cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in the postsurgical phase has an important impact on the patient by improving psychophysical and clinical recovery in reducing fatigue and dyspnea to ultimately increase survival.

Introduction: Implementation of enhanced recovery after surgery principles has led to exploration of ambulatory pathways in surgery, including gastrointestinal surgery. However, implementation of ambulatory pathways after colorectal surgery has not been established yet. Previous studies suggest that discharge within 24 h in colorectal surgery is only possible with a clear protocol and careful patient selection.
