First real-world experience with mobile health telemonitoring in adult patients with congenital heart disease.

This study presents the feasibility of a remote patient monitoring program in the Netherlands for managing arrhythmia, heart failure (weight) and blood pressure in symptomatic adults with congenital heart disease (CHD); the program used KardiaPro for the receipt and transfer of KardiaMobile ECG data. ECGs were assessed daily by trained nurses, under supervision of a cardiologist. Patients (median age 45; 35% male) were contacted by the treating cardiologist to adjust therapy, for surveillance or in order to provide reassurance. From June 2017 to March 2018, 55 symptomatic adult CHD patients participated; mean follow-up was 3 months and adherence was 97%. There were qualitatively fewer emergency room visits and hospitalizations (3) versus historical record (19). Serial patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) questionnaires were available for 12 patients at baseline and six patients after 6 months and showed a nonsignificant change in quality of life during telemonitoring. Nearly 75% of the 176 KardiaMobile ECGs were sinus rhythm; two patients were diagnosed with a new arrhythmia. In summary, a remote patient monitoring program featuring KardiaMobile is feasible with high adherence.
