First seen Feb 19, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 12 times

Summary

This study tests a remote patient management system called VIRTUES for people with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). About 1,115 adults with ICDs from participating centers will be randomly assigned to either remote monitoring with VIRTUES or usual care. The goal is to see if the system can speed up response to heart events and reduce major complications like hospitalization or stroke.
