Abstract

Purpose of review: Through this review, we attempt to explore the role of telemedicine and virtual visits in the field of cardiology pre-COVID-19 and during COVID-19 pandemic, their limitations and their future scope for delivery of care.

Recent findings: Telemedicine, which rose to prominence during COVID-19 pandemic, helped not only in reducing the burden on the healthcare system during a time of crisis but also in improving patient outcomes. Patients and physicians also favored virtual visits when feasible. Virtual visits were found to have the potential to be continued beyond the pandemic and play a significant role in patient care alongside conventional face-to-face visits.

Summary: Although tele-cardiology has proven beneficial in terms of patient care, convenience, and access, it comes with its fair share of limitations-both logistical and medical. Whilst there remains a great scope for improvement in the quality of patient care provided through telemedicine, it has shown the potential to become an integral part of medical practice in the future.

虚拟心脏病学:过去、现在、未来的方向和注意事项。
综述目的:通过本综述,我们试图探讨远程医疗和虚拟就诊在新冠肺炎之前和新冠肺炎大流行期间在心脏病学领域的作用、它们的局限性及其未来的护理范围。最近的发现:远程医疗在新冠肺炎大流行期间变得突出,不仅有助于在危机时期减轻医疗系统的负担,而且有助于改善患者的预后。在可行的情况下,患者和医生也喜欢虚拟就诊。虚拟就诊被发现有可能在疫情之后继续下去,并与传统的面对面就诊一起在患者护理中发挥重要作用。摘要:尽管远程心脏病学已被证明在患者护理、方便和获取方面是有益的,但它在后勤和医疗方面都有相当大的局限性。虽然通过远程医疗提供的患者护理质量仍有很大的提高空间,但它已显示出在未来成为医疗实践不可或缺的一部分的潜力。补充信息:在线版本包含补充材料,可访问10.1007/s12170-023-00719-0。

期刊介绍: The aim of this journal is to keep readers informed by providing cutting-edge reviews on key topics pertaining to cardiovascular risk. We use a systematic approach: international experts prepare timely articles on relevant topics that highlight the most important recent original publications. We accomplish this aim by appointing Section Editors in major subject areas across the discipline of cardiovascular medicine to select topics for review articles by leading experts who emphasize recent developments and highlight important papers published in the past year. An Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field.
