Recently, the use of telemedicine technology has increased due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Cardiovascular diseases management is one of the areas that has benefited from using this technology. This study aimed to identify the applications of telemedicine for cardiovascular diseases management during the Covid-19 pandemic.
This scoping study was conducted in 2023. Various databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, the Cochrane Library, Ovid, CINAHL, ProQuest, and IEEE Xplore along with Google Scholar were searched and all related quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method studies published in English between 2020 and 2022 were included. Finally, the required data were extracted, and the findings were reported narratively.
A total of 17 articles were included in this study. The results showed that teleconsultation via telephone and videoconferencing were the most common used technologies. Telemedicine helped to improve clinical impacts such as patient health status and quality of care, and reduced hospitalizations and re-admission rates compared to in-person visits. The non-clinical impact included reducing waiting time, in-person visits, and healthcare costs during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Covid-19 pandemic has led to an increased use of telemedicine technology, especially for patients with cardiovascular diseases. As teleconsultation and telemonitoring are useful for cardiovascular diseases management and regular examinations, future research should investigate how these technologies can be improved and used for a wider population.
最近，由于新冠疫情，远程医疗技术的使用有所增加。心血管疾病管理是受益于这项技术的领域之一。本研究旨在确定新冠疫情期间远程医疗在心血管疾病管理中的应用。
这项范围研究于2023年进行。搜索了包括PubMed、科学网、Scopus、考克兰图书馆、Ovid、CINAHL、ProQuest和IEEE Xplore以及谷歌学术在内的各种数据库，并纳入了2020年至2022年期间以英文发表的所有相关定量、定性和混合方法研究。最后，提取所需数据，并对研究结果进行叙述性报告。
本研究共纳入17篇文章。结果表明，通过电话和视频会议进行的远程会诊是最常用的技术。与面对面就诊相比，远程医疗有助于改善临床影响，如患者健康状况和护理质量，并降低住院率和再次入院率。非临床影响包括在新冠疫情期间减少等待时间、面对面就诊和医疗费用。
新冠疫情导致远程医疗技术的使用增加，尤其是对心血管疾病患者。由于远程会诊和远程监测对心血管疾病管理和定期检查有用，未来的研究应调查如何改进这些技术并将其应用于更广泛的人群。
