Longer-Term Effects of Remote Patient Management Following Hospital Discharge After Acute Systolic Heart Failure: The Randomized E-INH Trial Background: The randomized INH (Interdisciplinary Network Heart Failure) trial (N = 715) reported that 6 months' remote patient management (RPM) (HeartNetCare-HF) did not reduce the primary outcome (time to all-cause death/rehospitalization) vs usual care (UC) in patients discharged [...]

Heart Failure Drug Treatment-Inertia, Titration, and Discontinuation: A Multinational Observational Study (EVOLUTION HF) Background: Guidelines recommend early initiation of multiple guideline-directed medical therapies (GDMTs) to reduce mortality/rehospitalization in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction. Understanding GDMT use is critical to improving clinical practice. Objectives: This study sought to describe GDMT use in Japan, Sweden, and [...]

Efficacy of telemedicine for the management of cardiovascular disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis Background: Telemedicine has been increasingly integrated into chronic disease management through remote patient monitoring and consultation, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. We did a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies reporting effectiveness of telemedicine interventions for the management of patients with cardiovascular [...]

Pediatric Cardiology: Initial Experience with Telemedicine for Interstage Monitoring in Infants with Palliated Congenital Heart Disease Infants with staged surgical palliation for congenital heart disease are at high-risk for interstage morbidity and mortality. Home monitoring programs have mitigated these risks. This study examines caregivers and clinicians of the Infant Single Ventricle Monitoring Program (ISVMP). All consecutive [...]
