[Telemonitoring by the nurse of patients equipped with an implantable heart device]. / Télésuivi par l'infirmière des patients porteurs d'un dispositif cardiaque implantable.

The nurse is at the heart of the caregiving relationship in the remote monitoring of patients with heart failure equipped with an implantable device. Her direct contact with the patient erases the distance imposed by telemonitoring and her close connection with the cardiologist-arrhythmia specialist ensures the patient follow-up is optimal. After her training in telemedicine, the nurse plays a key role in the telerhythmology activity.
