Cureus: Telemedicine in Cardiology: Enhancing Access to Care and Improving Patient Outcomes
In the United States, telemedicine has significantly impacted cardiology, particularly at-home monitoring programs, which have proven highly effective for patients with abnormal heart rhythms. At institutions, like New York University (NYU) Langone Health, telemedicine has facilitated cardiac rehabilitation and improved access to specialized cardiology care in rural and underserved areas, reducing disparities in cardiovascular health outcomes. As technology advances, telemedicine is poised to play an increasingly significant role in cardiology and healthcare at large, enhancing patient management, healthcare efficiency, and cost reduction.
