Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

This feasibility study will investigate the clinical benefit of the combined use of BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring (HM) and weight and blood pressure (BP) external telemonitoring (ETM) in the follow-up treatment of patients implanted with a Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (CRT-D). The feasibility study is designed to plan and define endpoints for a larger randomized study. The study will assess the HM-parameter trends correlation with daily weight and blood pressure changes. The patient compliance rate of the two different telemonitoring systems (HM \& ETM) will also be evaluated.
