The number of adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) has progressively increased in recent years to surpass that of children. This population growth has produced a new demand for health care. Moreover, the 2019 coronavirus pandemic has caused significant changes and has underlined the need for an overhaul of healthcare delivery. As a result, telemedicine has emerged as a new strategy to support a patient-based model of specialist care. In this review, we would like to highlight the background knowledge and offer an integrated care strategy for the longitudinal assistance of ACHD patients. In particular, the emphasis is on recognizing these patients as a special population with special requirements in order to deliver effective digital healthcare.
近年来，患有先天性心脏病（ACHD）的成年人数量不断增加，超过了儿童。这种人口增长带来了新的医疗保健需求。此外，2019 年冠状病毒病大流行带来了重大变化，并强调需要彻底改革医疗服务的提供方式。因此，远程医疗已成为支持以患者为基础的专科护理模式的新策略。在这篇综述中，我们希望强调背景知识，并为 ACHD 患者的纵向护理提供综合护理策略。特别是，重点是将这些患者视为具有特殊需求的特殊人群，以提供有效的数字医疗保健。
