Potential Value of Automated Daily Screening of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillator Diagnostics for Prediction of Major Cardiovascular Events: Results from Home-CARE (Home Monitoring in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy) Study

We developed an automated algorithm for dynamic prediction of cardiovascular events in patients treated with CRT-D devices capable of daily transmission of their diagnostic data via Home Monitoring. This tool may increase patients' quality of life and reduce morbidity, mortality, and health economic burden, it now warrants prospective studies. ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00376116.
