Remote Monitoring in Heart Failure: Revolutionizing Patient Management and Outcomes.

Heart failure (HF) is a global health issue, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality, particularly in North America. The management of HF is complex, requiring diligent monitoring to prevent decompensation and clinical progression. While there have been improvements in treating HF, it still leads to significant negative health outcomes and heavily contributes to the use of healthcare services. Outpatient management for HF lacks consistent application of proven therapies and the early identification and management of worsening conditions. Remote monitoring (RM) offers a solution to these challenges and there has been growing attention from HF healthcare providers and medical systems. This review explores the evolution and role of RM in the ambulatory care of HF patients, particularly emphasizing the impact of RM on clinical outcomes amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
