Evaluation of Cardiac Implanted Electronic Devices (CIED) "Readers" for Hospital Disease Management
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of remote interrogation (readers) of CIEDs
in evaluation of suspected TIA/stroke patients, HF or those experiencing syncope. This
approach has the potential to advance the practice of CIED evaluation by staff without
specialized training in cardiac electrophysiology (non-EP staff). We hypothesize that
actionable events will be identified with use of CIED readers. These events may include
identification of atrial fibrillation in TIA/stroke patients, percentage biventricular pacing
in patients with HF or evaluation of arrhythmic events in syncope patients. We believe that
non-EP staff will find CIED readers easy or very easy to use and that time from transmission
to analysis for non-EP trained staff will be low.

Subjects with CIEDs undergoing evaluation for TIA/stroke, HF or syncope will be reviewed for
inclusion/exclusion criteria. CIED interrogation, demographics and time of interrogation will
be collected. Review of interrogation and medical record will be done to evaluate for
actionable events including CIED programming, initiation or change in medications,
admission/discharge or decision for further testing.
