American Heart Association: An Overview of Telehealth in the Management of Cardiovascular Disease: A Scientific Statement from the American Heart Association
The American Heart Association (AHA), an Alliance advisory board member, released a scientific statement which reviews definitions pertinent to telehealth discussions, summarizes the effect of telehealth utilization on cardiovascular and peripheral vascular disease care, and identifies obstacles to the adoption of telehealth that need to be addressed to improve health care accessibility and equity. Advances in technology have enabled the growth of telehealth strategies to improve patient care and medical resource accessibility, which has led to more equitable care. The COVID-19 pandemic improved the telehealth infrastructure through necessity but also uncovered systemic weakness, limitations, and inequities. See the AHA press release here.
