Implantable cardiac devices now go far beyond the functionality of early pacemakers and defibrillators. They provide us with an unprecedented amount of information about the day-to-day status of our patients with heart failure, providing insight into the complex clinical picture of these patients. More advanced technology can be seen on the horizon, and the development of strategies to incorporate this information into our clinics is needed. Traditionally, information from devices has only been accessed by the physicians implanting the device. However, heart failure physicians and their patients can benefit from the information now available and from having ways to access and use the data. This article focuses on the successful integration of device-based data into patient care in the outpatient clinical setting.
可植入式心脏设备如今的功能已远远超越早期的起搏器和除颤器。它们为我们提供了关于心力衰竭患者日常状况的前所未有的信息量，使我们能够深入了解这些患者复杂的临床情况。更先进的技术即将出现，因此需要制定策略将这些信息纳入我们的临床实践。传统上，设备信息只有植入设备的医生才能获取。然而，心力衰竭医生及其患者可以从现有的信息以及获取和使用这些数据的方式中受益。本文重点关注在门诊临床环境中将基于设备的数据成功整合到患者护理中。
