ABSTRACT

Telemedicine has emerged as a groundbreaking approach in the delivery of healthcare, particularly in managing cardiovascular diseases. This review examines the latest advancements and trends in cardiovascular telemedicine, highlighting technological innovations, clinical uses, and future possibilities. Wearable and mobile health technologies have become essential for ongoing remote monitoring of vital signs, which aids in the early identification of issues and prompt interventions. Predictive analytics and automated diagnostic tools provide critical insights into cardiovascular risks, enabling personalized care and early disease identification. Remote sensing and imaging techniques broaden access to specialized care, allowing for the assessment of cardiac structure and function from afar. Clinical uses of telemedicine in cardiovascular health encompass remote patient monitoring, teleconsultations, and emergency telemedicine services. Remote patient monitoring allows for the ongoing observation of vital signs and clinical information, empowering both patients and healthcare providers to make knowledgeable choices. Teleconsultations foster regular communication between patients and healthcare professionals, enhancing adherence to treatment plans and allowing timely adjustments. Emergency telemedicine provides swift response options for acute cardiovascular issues, improving access to healthcare and streamlining emergency response times. Although telemedicine presents significant opportunities, challenges such as regulatory barriers, technological shortcomings, and the acceptance of both patients and providers persist. Future developments in cardiovascular telemedicine include further technological progress, policy alignment, and efforts to promote broader adoption. By overcoming these challenges and leveraging technological innovations, telemedicine has the potential to transform cardiovascular care, enhancing patient outcomes, lowering healthcare expenses, and widening access to high-quality care.
