Sumario:In the COVID-19 era, the heart failure community has witnessed an unprecedented reduction in heart failure–related patient visits and hospitalizations. Social distancing measures present a dilemma for patients with heart failure who require frequent surveillance of volume status and vital signs to minimize heart failure–related symptoms and hospitalizations. With the rise of telemedicine comes an increased focus on remote monitoring technologies. This report describes use of a multisensor device algorithm in implantable cardioverter defibrillator devices by Boston Scientific, called HeartLogic. We present 2 cases of patients with advanced heart failure who were actively surveilled by the HeartLogic device algorithm to guide care. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.)
