Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Cardiac Arrhythmia | Other: Discharge day of procedure | Not Applicable |
Subjects who are implanted with a clinically indicated implanted cardiac pacemaker or defibrillator will be randomized to standard of care (next day discharge) versus same day discharge post implant. Both groups will under go standard of care assessments prior to discharge. The same day discharge group will receive a phone call the next day to assess for events and will transmit device data electronically. Both groups will be seen 10 - 14 days after implant for further evaluation.
The subjects will also complete questionnaires regarding their knowledge of self care and satisfaction with care.
