NCT02234245

Brief Summary

The purpose of this research is to estimate the outcomes in health and cost of the follow-up of patients with pacemakers. The initial hypothesize of this study is that remote monitoring of pacemaker will show a best relation of outcomes in costs and effectiveness than the conventional follow-up in hospital.
