Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Be older than 18 years old
Must not have
Currently followed more than every 6 months by a Heart Function Clinic
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up 18 months

Summary

This trial will compare remote patient management to usual care, and will focus on whether or not the RemoteView system is used.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who can consent and have a specific Medtronic or Abbott defibrillator that supports remote monitoring. They must have a family physician and not be part of another clinical trial. It's not for those needing frequent heart clinic visits or with unreliable pacemaker function.
What is being tested?
The study compares two approaches to managing cardiac arrhythmias: one group will use remote patient management tools, while the other will receive usual care without these tools. Participants are randomly assigned to groups, considering their current tech use and location.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves management methods rather than medication, traditional side effects aren't expected. However, there may be risks related to data privacy, reliance on technology for health monitoring, and potential delays in emergency response.
