Heart failure & cardiomyopathies

Association of a Remote Monitoring Programme with All-Cause Mortality and Hospitalizations in Patients with Heart Failure: National-Scale, Real-World Evidence from a 3-Year Propensity Score Analysis of the TELESAT-HF Study

Eur J Heart FailPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

In France, RMP with customized monitoring frequencies and educational strategies was associated with lower all-cause mortality, emergency visits, and time spent in hospital in patients with HF
