The goal of this randomised clinical trial is to utilise a remote monitoring algorithm to gather essential clinical data, aiming to guide the management of post-Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) patients and reduce both postprocedural hospital length of stay and readmissions. This strategic integration of technology aims to address gaps identified in previous studies and enhance the effectiveness of post-TAVI patient care. One significant concern after TAVI is the development of heart conduction abnormalities on the ECG and abnormal rhythms, such as heart block, potentially requiring permanent pacemaker insertion. Addressing these rhythm issues is crucial for reducing the overall length of stay. The main question it aims to answer is: Does a remote patient monitoring protocol-driven strategy reduce post-TAVI hospital length of stay and adverse events? Participants post-TAVI procedure and eligible for same-day discharge, as determined by their primary cardiologist, will be randomized upon informed consent into the active arm (remote monitoring) or control group (standard of care). Participants in the active arm will: receive four remote monitoring devices. Receive support from a validated clinical decision-making algorithm for further management. Participants in the control group will: adhere to the best standard of care as per current practice. Researchers will compare the active arm to the control group to see if the remote patient monitoring protocol-driven strategy reduces post-TAVI hospital length of stay and adverse events.
