Deliver Cardiac Virtual Care: A Primer for Cardiovascular Professionals in Canada

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic with its need for distancing has necessitated the use of virtual care in never before seen volumes. This review article aims to provide a primer on virtual care for cardiovascular professionals in Canada. The technology to facilitate remote patient interactions is already available but barriers exist. Adequate and effective cardiac virtual care (CVC) must be further developed given the need for rapid evaluation and close ongoing follow-up of patients, as seen in the areas of heart failure… Show more

“…A unique finding of this study was the issue of distraction during virtual visits, including conducting them while a patient was driving. There are few recommendations to guide virtual cardiac care in Canada [ 6 ], and guidelines for both patients and providers are needed regarding timeliness (eg, responsiveness and being on time), safety, and ways to promote effective communication during virtual visits.…”

“…Virtual care was used to a limited extent in AF care [6] before COVID-19, with a few studies showing similar levels of satisfaction between virtual and in-person consultations [2,[7][8][9]. Although the acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic radically transformed care delivery models to virtual care as the new normal, there continues to be limited research exploring the use of virtual AF care delivery and none from a patient perspective.…”

“…Nurse-led CR programs improved the quality of life and biophysiological parameters, such as diastolic blood pressure, high-density lipoprotein, and hemoglobin in patients with heart failure (Arjunan & Trichur, 2020). Virtual nursing is an important modality for cardiovascular health care (Lam et al, 2022), and nurse-led CTR programs have been proven to improve health-promoting lifestyle, health-related quality of life, and physical exercise in CHD (Su & Yu, 2021).…”
