Daily remote cardiac monitoring of patients with chronic heart and vascular diseases – is an important component of patient management. Remote electrocardiography is a hot topic of telemedicine. Its implementation and development significantly reduces the queues for ECG studies, decreases the time for making diagnoses, reduces the number of inappropriate emergency visits, and the time for making decisions on the need to admit a patient with AMI to a hospital is significantly reduced. Moreover, the Physiobank Digital Records Archive database contains an enormous amount of physiological signal variants and associated data, allowing for rapid deciphering of pathology development.
The most positive results relate to a decrease in in-hospital mortality from ACS, there is no need to keep staff to take ECG readings at home. Accordingly, the salary expenditures and overhead costs are reduced.
