Remote Programming of Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices 2

Remote programming of a CIED offers multiple advantages such as shorter travel distances for the patient, reduced need for presence of specialized cardiologists and the possibility to offer expert support at remote locations or developing countries. Remote programming may be a way to mitigate disparities in health care access. The remote surveillance centre of CHU Bordeaux has previously developed and validated (REACT study, NCT05366660) a remote control system for CIED programmers that eliminates the physical presence of a cardiologist during the interrogation and programming process. The aim of this study is to evaluate this solution for the remote evaluation of CIEDs at the benefit of inhabitant of medically underserved population. Enrolled patients living \>100km from the Bordeaux University Hospital will undergo there an in person evaluation of their CIED which will be compared six months later with a remote evaluation in a nurse office close to the patient's home.
