NICE recommends using a remote digital heart failure system, developed in Manchester, to help reduce hospital admissions.

This new approach of monitoring health data collected from patients’ pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) could potentially dramatically reduce heart failure-related hospitalisations and improve patient care.

I'm not sure how innovative this is, as I have a loop recorder made by medtronics which downloads each night. Every now and again I get a phone call telling me of certain concerns over my heart rate etc. Sometimes an appointment is made for me to see my cardiologist because of what is noticed from the downloads. I am in North Wales, two months ago I was called to say I would be having a CT scan of my heart locally, and then will be having a MRI scan in Manchester where they will be lowering my heart rate to a near stop for the scan, but probably during next spring. Not got the appointments yet. I don't really have any trouble with my low heart beat, when it used to be 25bpm at rest I'd feel light headed if I got up quickly, but since it reset itself to a resting HR of 37 to 40 I have no problems other than cardiology wanting to fit a pacemaker, and put me on bisoperol which I don't want.
