- Abstract
In the era of communication technology, new options are available to monitor patients with Automatic Implantable Cardiovascular Devices (AICD) implanted pacemaker (PM) and Automatic Implantable Defibrillators (AID) and Cardiac resynchronization system (CRS). Most companies offer devices with wireless capabilities to communicate automatically with transmitters, allowing remote monitoring device. These systems are being widely used in USA for remote monitoring and have been introduced more recently in Europe, where adoption is increasing. There have also been introduced some systems in Latin America; Mexico in particular has this type of monitoring. This article describes the systems currently existing, available data in the literature in relation to its monitoring and surveillance of the automatic implantable cardiovascular devices (DAIC) and finally, discuss some unresolved issues.
