Liu et al.’s recent study reveals that telemedicine expanded access to cardiovascular care in China, enabling patients in poorer areas of the country to access care in cities with more resources. While these findings may support the global expansion of telemedicine, implementation often proves challenging. This article examines the potential and limitations of adopting similar telemedicine efforts within the U.S. to advance geographic health equity.
