In-person PPM/ICD follow up frequency

    Hello all,

    With improved remote home monitoring and the ongoing boom of EP patients, there has been a shift in how we provide care for our device patients. Our practice is curious to see what frequency other device clinics are performing 'routine' in-person evaluations, and do your intervals vary based on device type or device characteristics e.g. auto thresholds, alerts... Thanks in advance for any info you're willing to provide!
