Applications of the Multisensor HeartLogic Heart Failure Monitoring Algorithm During the COVID-19 Global Pandemic.
In the COVID-19 era, the heart failure community has witnessed an unprecedented reduction in heart failure-related patient visits and hospitalizations. Social distancing measures present a dilemma for patients with heart failure who require frequent surveillance of volume status and vital signs to minimize heart failure-related symptoms and hospitalizations. With the rise of telemedicine comes an increased focus on remote monitoring technologies. This report describes use of a multisensor device algorithm in implantable cardioverter defibrillator devices by Boston Scientific, called HeartLogic. We present 2 cases of patients with advanced heart failure who were actively surveilled by the HeartLogic device algorithm to guide care. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).
