Zusammenfassung:We report the case of a patient implanted with an implantable defibrillator endowed with a multisensor algorithm for heart failure monitoring. Automatic measurement of multiple clinical variables allowed to detect impending heart failure decompensation and showed its ability to facilitate differential diagnosis in the context of the current COVID‐19 pandemic. Implantable cardioverter‐defibrillators continuously monitor multiple physiological variables to identify patients at risk of HF. Monitoring of multiple clinical variables may also facilitate screening, triage, and differential diagnosis in the context of the COVID‐19 pandemic.
