Abstract
Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) became next after heart transplantation clinically recognized way of treatment for patients suffered from end-stage heart failure. Nowadays, long term MCS is realized mostly by means of implantable rotary blood pumps (RBP). Clinically utilized MCS systems have limited capabilities of pump operation supervision and patient’s monitoring. A few of them were equipped with remote data transmission to external data base. In this paper the telemonitoring system intended for Polish rotary cardiac assist system ReligaHeart ROT has been presented. The necessity of remote monitoring of supported patient as well as pump operation has been justified by referring to clinical cases of commercial MCS system HVAD (Medtronic) application.
