Abstract
Telecardiology has emerged as a promising approach in acute cardiac care through advancements in digital health technologies. This review explores the current evidence of telemedicine applications in acute coronary syndrome, arrhythmias, and acute heart failure. Telecardiology strategies are already implemented in clinical practice today. Examples such as pre-hospital electrocardiogram transmission and remote monitoring using non-invasive and invasive devices have shown to enhance diagnostic accuracy, reduce treatment delays, and improve outcomes. However, despite multiple meta-analyses, the effectiveness of telecardiology remains uncertain due to heterogeneity in study designs and lack of high-quality randomized controlled trials. Increasingly, the integration of artificial intelligence offers unprecedented opportunities for diagnostic precision, predictive analytics, and personalized care yet requires rigorous validation and ethical considerations. This article underscores the pivotal role of the cardiologist in bridging the gaps between technology and clinical practice by providing an evidence-based scaffold on telecardiology effectiveness and clinical implementation.
期刊介绍:
The European Heart Journal - Acute Cardiovascular Care (EHJ-ACVC) offers a unique integrative approach by combining the expertise of the different sub specialties of cardiology, emergency and intensive care medicine in the management of patients with acute cardiovascular syndromes.
Reading through the journal, cardiologists and all other healthcare professionals can access continuous updates that may help them to improve the quality of care and the outcome for patients with acute cardiovascular diseases.
