Pacemaker

Transtelephonic Pacemaker Monitoring is the routine testing of implanted pacemakers from the convenience of the patient’s home, using a standard telephone. It is designed to supplement periodic visits to the physician’s office and to provide early detection of device-related complications. Transtelephonic monitoring is recommended as part of a comprehensive and cost-effective pacemaker patient management program.
