摘要
E-health, especially telemedicine, has undergone a remarkably dynamic development over the past few years.Most experience is currently in the field of telemedical care for heart failure (HF) patients.However, HF patients with an implanted left-ventricular assist device (LVAD) have been more or less excluded from consistent telemonitoring until now.And yet, continual monitoring would be very significant for this patient group because of the complexity of its aftercare, requiring steady control of various parameters (device-related parameters, vital parameters, coagulation parameters, etc.).With timely action, severe and costly complications like pump thromboses and driveline infections could be detected early on or even avoided completely.This paper describes the potential of telemonitoring in LVAD patients, as well as its first clinical implementation according to the available literature.It also describes the requirements for a complete telemonitoring of LVAD patients, facilitating the advancement of this form of continual monitoring to a clinical standard which would increase the quality of aftercare for this very special patient collective enormously.
