Current practices in managing patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices: Results of an international survey.
Article in Heart rhythm O2, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Managing patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) is increasingly complicated with expanding populations and evolving technologies. While the 2023 Heart Rhythm Society/European Heart Rhythm Association/Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society/Latin American Heart Rhythm Society consensus on management of remote device clinics provides recommendations, the adoption of these practices in real-world practice is unknown. Objective: This survey of device clinic staff characterized the adoption and variability of CIED follow-up practices. Methods: A Delphi panel composed of U.S. and European Union clinical experts guided the research objectives, structure, and content of the survey. Once consensus was reached, the online survey (Qualtrics) was deployed in partnership with HRS through e-mail, social media posts, and at the HRX conference. An available case analysis was performed to handle missing data. Results: A total of 471 responses were collected from 44 countries, including 310 in the United States, 88 in Europe, and 73 in other regions. Broad representation was achieved with respect to staff role, years of experience, and clinic ownership. Most (71%) respondents reported being aware of the 2023 consensus statement. While the majority (77%-83%, depending on device type) reported using hybrid in-person and remote management for patients with therapeutic CIEDs, 89% to 91% reported scheduling routine office visits at least once per year, depending on device type, respectively. Only 50% of respondents reported a hybrid approach for insertable cardiac monitor patients, with 35% reporting remote-only follow-up. Conclusion: Variable adoption was found for many practices recommended in the 2023 Heart Rhythm Society/European Heart Rhythm Association/Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society/Latin American Heart Rhythm Society consensus. Future research should focus on optimal implementation of recommended practices.
