The Escorts Heart Institute & Research Center and other clinics like it across India, can now continuously monitor their patients with BIOTRONIK cardiac devices remotely, allowing physicians to verify diagnostic and technical device data online. BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring® is also for patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD)and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices with continuous automatic daily data transmissions of the patient’s cardiovascular status to the physician from anywhere in the world using an antenna integrated in the device and the GSM telephone network.
BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring® technology is praised as a ‘quantum leap in cardiac arrhythmia therapy’ by local cardiologists. ‘We are targeting about 25 implantations in the first year, which could reach up to 500 in the next 3-5 years’, Dr. T.S. Kler, Managing Director, Escorts Heart Institute & Research Center explained.
BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring has already been introduced in 45 countries worldwide and available for 100,000 implanted cardiac devices with over 2,500 active clinics.

Intelligent implants like the Cylos DR-T with CLS is able to emulate the healthy sinus node. A unique pacing concept, in which changes in the heart’s contraction dynamics are measured and appropriate physiologic regulation of the heart rate is performed automatically to restore a patient’s quality of life. In conjunction with BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring® solution for wireless remote monitoring, the new pacemaker Cylos DR-T opens up extraordinary opportunities for treating cardiac disease by connecting patients and physicians to facilitate proactive treatment and care.
