Remote monitoring and heart failure

Heart failure (HF) represents one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In recent years, remote monitoring (RM) and telemedicine have emerged as a promising strategy to improve the management of patients with HF, reducing hospitalizations and enhancing the quality of life. Through the integration of technologies such as implantable sensors, home monitoring devices, and mobile applications, it is possible to detect clinical changes early, enabling timely interventions. This article provides an overview of available technologies for RM in HF, analyses the clinical benefits observed in various studies, and addresses the remaining challenges, such as the need for standardization, long-term sustainability, and widespread adoption. Remote monitoring offers significant potential to improve clinical outcomes but requires further research and development to optimize its use in clinical practice.
