Tele Medicine Applications in Acute Coronary Syndromes

Abstract

Advances in technology have had a positive impact on modern medicine, one of which is telemedicine applications. Early initiation of treatment in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) reduces mortality. Electrocardiography (ECG) knowledge of the healthcare team who sees the patient outside the hospital may not always be sufficient. Therefore, sending the ECG and clinical clinical data in emergent cases to the specialist center, by means of telemedicine applications, even today only via smartphone and internet, both facilitates the work of the healthcare team and provides mortality benefit for the patient by obtaining the tratment earlier. In this article, the use of telemedicine in ACS, related, clinical studies and the way in which the healthcare team who first evaluated the patient in the field should follow will be discussed.
