What is Implementation, acceptability, and efficacy of home telemonitoring (HTM) in heart failure (HF) patients managed by HF nurse: A single-center report about?

Introduction Heart failure (HF) is a severe disease with increasing prevalence, impaired survival and high re-hospitalisation rates. Yet, home-telemonitoring (HTM) might decrease HF hospitalizations. Objective To report our experience in the implementation, acceptability and efficacy of HTM, led by a HF nurse. Method All HF patients included in the HTM program of Reims University Hospital between July 2020 and December 2021 were included. HTM consisted in patient daily weight and HF symptoms transmissions through a connected device. After first data treatment by the service provider, relevant alerts were transmitted to the local HTM team, associating HF nurse, cardiologists and secretary. Each alert was systematically first treated by the HF nurse, orienting patient management according to the algorithm described in Fig. 1A. Results Among the 97 patients included during the 18 months of the study period, 72% were male, 78% had HF-rEF and 49% had coronary disease. Mean age, LVEF and NTproBNP were 60±12 years, 32±11% and 2323±2610pg/mL, respectively. Regarding HTM patient experience, device observance was 76±23% and 65% answered as very satisfied, 34% satisfied and 1% had low satisfa
