Aims of the study are to develop a hospital cost minimization analysis and a cost effectiveness analysis based on direct estimation of costs and quality of life deriving from remote follow-up (performed with Merlin@home and Merlin.net) compared to standard follow-up in the management of ICD implanted patients.
