Abstract :
A system for non-invasive rejection monitoring after heart transplantation is presented. This system is based on the recording of intramyocardial electrograms via pacemaker telemetry and remote analysis of these electrograms with an Internet accessible workstation. The qualification of the system to support a multicenter study has been assessed
