Improving primary care in Europe beyond COVID-19: from telemedicine to organizational reforms

Livio Garattini et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the increased use of telemedicine in primary care services in Europe to prevent contagion. However, the slow adoption and practical dissemination of telemedicine in primary care is more related to labor organization and healthcare funding rather than technology and ethics. Efforts to establish larger-scale organizations and efficient management through tools like telemedicine are seen as key for providing high-quality care to patients in modern primary care.

The Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic and Lockdown Restrictions on Cardiac Implantable Device Recipients with Remote Monitoring

Igor Diemberger et al.

Summary: A prospective analysis of data from Italian patients with implantable defibrillators and/or cardiac resynchronization devices during COVID-19 lockdown restrictions revealed a significant impact on patients' activity levels, heart rate variability, and arrhythmic burden. There was a marked decrease in physical activity and increase in atrial and ventricular arrhythmias during the lockdown period, which improved slightly post-lockdown. COVID-19 infection prevalence did not have a significant impact on these findings.

Summary: Remote monitoring of cardiac implantable electronic devices is recommended as part of heart failure patients' follow-up. Recent findings show that it is useful in early detection of technical issues and arrhythmias, but its effectiveness in reducing mortality and hospitalizations is still uncertain. Proactive implementation and response to remote monitoring data by physicians may lead to better outcomes.
