Why the study?
Despite the promise of telemedicine to improve care for ischaemic heart disease, significant obstacles to implementation remain, making demonstration of improved patient-centred outcomes important.
Do telemedicine interventions reduce mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Do telemedicine interventions reduce mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Telemedicine strategies, particularly ECG transmission, added to usual care for AMI are associated with reduced in-hospital mortality and door-to-balloon times.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support integrating telemedicine into AMI pathways; extends meta-analytic evidence on mortality and DTB reductions.
Marcolino et al. (2019) studied this question.
