This review compared remote patient monitoring with usual care in patients with chronic heart failure. The authors found that remote patient monitoring conferred a significant protective clinical effect in patients with chronic heart failure compared with usual care. Publication and language biases were possible and a lack of reporting of study details made the reliability of the authors’ conclusions unclear.
