Remote Device Monitoring
Peace Arch Cardiovascular – Bellingham, WA
Advanced Cardiac Monitoring from the Comfort of Your Home
At Peace Arch Cardiovascular, we provide remote cardiac device monitoring to help patients manage heart conditions safely and conveniently. This technology allows our cardiology team to monitor your heart device and cardiac activity without requiring frequent in-office visits.
If you have an implanted cardiac device such as a pacemaker, defibrillator (ICD), or loop recorder, remote monitoring helps ensure your device is functioning properly while allowing our specialists to detect potential concerns early.
Our goal is to give patients greater peace of mind and improved heart health through continuous, proactive care.

Remote device monitoring uses secure wireless technology to transmit information from your implanted heart device directly to your cardiology team. The device sends data about your heart rhythm, device performance, and overall cardiac activity through a home transmitter or mobile system.
Our providers review this information regularly and are alerted if any unusual activity or device issues are detected.
This approach allows us to:
- Monitor heart rhythm abnormalities
- Check device battery life and performance
- Identify irregular heartbeats or arrhythmias
- Detect early warning signs of cardiac problems
- Adjust treatment plans when necessary
Who Can Benefit from Remote Monitoring?
Remote device monitoring is typically recommended for patients who have implanted cardiac devices, including:
- Pacemakers
- Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs)
- Cardiac resynchronization therapy devices (CRT)
- Implantable loop recorders
Patients with conditions such as arrhythmias, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, or other cardiac rhythm disorders often benefit from continuous remote monitoring.
