Whether the cumulative evidence for remote patient monitoring (RPM) in heart failure (HF) has reached a definitive threshold -- and whether benefits extend to geographically underserved populations -- remains uncertain. We conducted a systematic review, meta-analysis, and trial sequential analysis (TSA) of 65 RCTs (59 poolable; [~]23,000 participants) across four databases through February 2026, encompassing structured telephone support (15 trials), non-invasive telemonitoring (33), and invasive...
