About this trial
The Remote Alert Pathway to Optimize Care of Cardiac Implantable Electrical Devices (RAPTOR-CIED) Study is a pragmatic, multi-center, randomized trial with 1:1 patient-level randomization comparing the safety and effectiveness of alert-driven care versus guideline-based care for patients with wireless cardiac implantable electrical devices (CIEDs).
The study will be conducted in 2 phases: a Feasibility Phase and a Main Phase. This registration outlines the goals and design features of the Feasibility Phase of the study.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Adult aged > 18 years
Clinically stable by investigator assessment
Has a newly implanted or existing wireless CIED: single, dual-chamber, biventricular, subcutaneous/extravascular, and leadless systems are all eligible, including pacemakers or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs)
CIED is from one of the 4 major CIED manufacturers in the US market (99% of implants in the US): Medtronic, Boston Scientific, Abbott, Biotronik
Disqualifiers
Presence of insertable cardiac monitor, either in isolation or in combination with any other CIED
Listed for cardiac transplantation prior to enrollment (N.B. if a patient becomes listed for transplantation during the study, they may continue study participation)
Participation in another study related to novel CIED technology or remote monitoring.

Treatments tested in this trial
Alert-based care
DeviceAlert-based care is an alternative strategy for longitudinal management of patients with wireless pacemakers and implantable defibrillators
Guideline-based care
DeviceGuideline-based care is the current typical standard for longitudinal management of patients with wireless pacemakers and implantable defibrillators
