[Options for home telemonitoring in heart failure patients].

OBJECTIVE: To provide an overview of the effectiveness of various forms of home telemonitoring systems for heart failure and the potential role these systems may have in decreasing the burden on healthcare through reduction in heart failure hospitalizations.

DESIGN: Meta-analysis of randomized and observational studies.

METHODS: A meta-analysis of randomized and observational studies was carried out to assess the effect on mortality and heart failure-related hospitalizations, comparing standard heart failure care with the use of home monitoring systems.

RESULTS: The pooled results from 92 studies demonstrate a reduction in the risk of both mortality and heart failure admissions.

CONCLUSION: The results of this meta-analysis support the use of home telemonitoring systems. Determining which form of home telemonitoring is most suitable for which patient requires further research.
