The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of remote interrogation (readers) of CIEDs in evaluation of suspected TIA/stroke patients, HF or those experiencing syncope. This approach has the potential to advance the practice of CIED evaluation by staff without specialized training in cardiac electrophysiology (non-EP staff). We hypothesize that actionable events will be identified with use of CIED readers. These events may include identification of atrial fibrillation in TIA/stroke patients, percentage biventricular pacing in patients with HF or evaluation of arrhythmic events in syncope patients. We believe that non-EP staff will find CIED readers easy or very easy to use and that time from transmission to analysis for non-EP trained staff will be low.
