| Core Tip |
This is a multicenter observational registry that compared the utility of the partners-heart failure (HF) algorithm with the care alert strategy for remote monitoring, in guiding clinical actions oriented to treat impending HF in a population of 70 cardiac resynchronization therapy recipients followed over a mean follow-up period of 8 ± 2 mo. The partners-HF algorithm displayed high sensitivity (96.9%), specificity (92.5%), positive (84.6%) and negative (98.6%) predictive values for active clinical actions oriented to treat impending HF. The care alert exhibited lower sensitivity (11.1%), positive (42.3%) and negative (71.1%) predictive values. |
