What is remote patient monitoring (RPM)?

At Parkview Cardiology PLLC, remote patient monitoring (RPM) allows Dr. Sankholkar to track your heart health without requiring frequent office visits. 

You use user-friendly medical devices at home, such as blood pressure cuffs, heart rate monitors, or wearable EKGs, that record your vital signs. 

The information is transferred electronically to Dr. Sankholkar, where he monitors changes in your heart function, identifies warning signs early, and adjusts treatment as needed.

How does remote patient monitoring work?

RPM involves using connected devices that measure key cardiovascular indicators, such as blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen levels, or weight. These devices automatically send your readings to a secure digital platform, which your care team can access in real time or review regularly. 

If something looks concerning, such as an irregular heart rhythm or rising blood pressure, Dr. Sankholkar can contact you quickly, possibly preventing a more serious issue.

The technology allows for more consistent care between visits and gives Dr. Sankholkar a better picture of your day-to-day health. It’s especially helpful for people with chronic heart conditions who need close monitoring.

Is remote patient monitoring accurate?

Yes, remote patient monitoring devices are highly accurate when used correctly. Many of the tools used for RPM are FDA-approved and designed to meet medical standards. 

To ensure the best results, your care team guides you on how to use the devices properly at home. They also double-check that the equipment is calibrated and that data transmits securely.

What issues can remote patient monitoring address?

RPM is a powerful tool for managing a range of cardiovascular conditions, including:

• High blood pressure (hypertension)
• Heart failure
• Irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias)
• Coronary artery disease
• Post-heart attack recovery
• High risk of stroke

It can also be used to monitor how well your medications are working or to track recovery after a heart procedure. By catching subtle changes early, remote monitoring helps avoid complications, reduces hospital visits, and supports better long-term heart health.

If you have ongoing heart concerns, remote patient monitoring offers peace of mind and a smarter, more connected approach to care. Learn more by calling the office today or booking an appointment online.
