VASCO: Evaluation of a Proactive Clinical Management and Early Diagnosis of Arrhythmias in Patients With Heart Failure and Non Severely Reduced Left Ventricular Function Through a Telemonitoring System
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Vasco trial is a no profit, multicenter, international, prospective, randomized study designed to evaluate the clinical benefits of a remote monitoring management based on ILR vs standard practice in patients with high risk of cardiac arrhythmias, heart failure and left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF)> 40% .The study will enroll about 331 patients (221 in the ILR group and 110 in the in-hospital follow-up group).
