The Remote Alert Pathway to Optimize Care of Cardiac Implantable Electrical Devices (RAPTOR-CIED) Study is a pragmatic, multi-center, randomized trial with 1:1 patient-level randomization comparing the safety and effectiveness of alert-driven care versus guideline-based care for patients with wireless cardiac implantable electrical devices (CIEDs). The study will be conducted in 2 phases: a Feasibility Phase and a Main Phase. This registration outlines the goals and design features of the Feasibility Phase of the study.

Quality of Life and Health Status
EuroQol 5-dimensional questionnaire, five-level version (EQ-5D-5L) - 5 questions are scored from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating worse outcomes
Time frame: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months
Quality of Life and Health Status
Cardiac Anxiety Questionnaire (CAQ) - scored from 0 to 72, with a higher score corresponding to higher cardiac anxiety
Time frame: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months
Quality of Life and Health Status
Patient Health Questionnaire depression scale (PHQ-8) - scored from 0 to 24, with a higher score indicating worse symptoms
Time frame: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months
Quality of Life and Health Status
Patient Activation Measure (PAM) - scored from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating better outcomes
Time frame: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months
