It is more important than ever for physicians to monitor and manage their heart failure patients.
Heart Failure diagnostics, battery longevity, and remote management systems from Boston Scientific combine to offer 360-degree clinical care and reduce hospitalizations and hospital visits.

Longevity
The patient's life is improved by longevity by requiring fewer replacements:
- Assuring that infection and complications are minimized
- Reducing the cost of therapy
- Enhancing patient therapy through battery optimization
- Improving patients' quality of life

EnduraLife™ Battery Technology was introduced by Boston Scientific in 2007 and has been validated by nine studies published since 2013.⁴⁻¹² Boston Scientific offers the longest-lasting devices on the market.¹³⁻¹⁴
How we compare to our competitors
The 8-year product performance reports show that CRT-Ds with Enduralife Technology have greater longevity than comparable devices.¹⁶⁻¹⁷

Remote Patient Management
Remote device monitoring is more relevant and useful than ever during the COVID-19 pandemic. It will help you:
- Identify clinical events and device anomalies in patients with cardiac implantable defibrillators who's in-person visit was canceled.
- Allow physicians to monitor disease progression remotely and to modify patients’ treatment appropriately (except for programming changes).
- When patients feel more empowered in the remote monitoring process, they will become more invested in improving their health. Thus, we should feel confident to use remote device monitoring for patients with cardiac implantable defibrillators during the COVID-19 pandemic.¹⁹

In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, leveraging remote patient monitoring technology will help eliminate unnecessary patient contact, while reducing the burden on in-clinic follow-up.
- "Is recommended that HF patients are enrolled in a multidisciplinary HF management programme to reduce the risk of HF hospitalisation and mortality."²⁰
- "Remote device management is recommended to reduce number of in-office follow-up in patients."²⁰
