Zusammenfassung
Aufgrund der zunehmenden Patientenanzahl und des nicht unerheblichen logistischen, personellen sowie zeitlichen Aufwands für Patienten und Nachsorgezentren gewinnt eine effiziente Therapieüberwachung, wie sie durch die telemedizinische Überwachung implantierter Devices angeboten wird, zunehmend an Bedeutung. Dies betrifft sowohl device- und sondenassoziierte Defekte als auch das Auftreten von Herzrhythmusstörungen. Wir berichten über einen Patienten mit implantiertem Kardioverterdefibrillator mit einer unaufhörlichen Kammertachykardie, bei dem eine sofortige Übertragung der Rhythmusstörung durch das Home Monitoring auffällig wurde.
Abstract
Due to the increasing number of patients and complexity of modern tachycardia devices, efficient therapy monitoring as offered by telemedicine monitoring is of increasing importance. The potential advantages of remote control for patient management include early detection of device-related technical problems and arrhythmias. We report the case of an ICD patient with incessant ventricular tachycardia in whom immediate arrhythmia transmission was monitored by remote control.
