RESUMEN
Mechanical assist devices are being used with increasing frequency, for remote monitoring for the care of patients through information received at distance by mean of the technology of telecommunications. The aim of this report was to describe the alerts received from patients implanted with devices with the ability of transmission at distance, in order to evaluate their causes and the therapeutic measures introduced, when in these patients is instituted a permanent remote monitoring instead of a remote follow-up. The role of remote monitoring and follow-up of pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators, is revised.
