Does telecardiology reduce intra-hospital mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Does telecardiology reduce intra-hospital mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Telecardiology, specifically remote ECG transmission, is recommended for ACS management as it can significantly reduce intra-hospital mortality.
Supports telemedicine integration in AMI networks to cut mortality; extends Level 1 evidence into guideline-endorsed practice.
Cardiology is a very promising field in telemedicine.The transmission of electrocardiograms (ECG) from remote health services or ambulances to a central for analysis is already routine in the approach to acute coronary syndromes (ACS).This approach allows the obtention of expert guidance and referral to appropriate health units, with the potential of saving lives.This impact may be seen in acute myocardial infarction (MI), in which telemedicine has reduced intra-hospital mortality rates from 12.3% to 7.1% 1-4 .

Oliveira et al. (2015) conducted a review in Acute Coronary Syndrome and Other Cardiac Diseases. Telecardiology was evaluated. Telemedicine implementation in the management of acute myocardial infarction has been shown to reduce intra-hospital mortality rates from 12.3% to 7.1%.
