PACEMAKER TRANSTELEPHONIC MONITORING
SERVICES
State of the art pacemakers are
built to last many years, predicting exact battery life is an
ongoing challenge to medical professionals. All patients with
implanted pacemakers require follow-up surveillance, not only to
assess routine battery depletion, but also random component failure,
lead malfunctions, and to troubleshoot suspected abnormalities.
The goal of pacemaker follow-up is
to obtain maximum longevity and safety for the cardiac pacing
system. Long–term rapport with the patient is another desired
benefit.
Transtelephonic monitoring of the
pacemaker patient provides a “quick and easy” method of assessing
the most basic functional capabilities of the pacemaker.

technique for assessing the long-term safety and durability of
