Telecardiology has become a transformative solution in modern cardiac care, enabling remote diagnosis, monitoring and consultation using digital platforms, connected devices and real-time data transmission. As healthcare systems prioritise accessibility and continuity, clinicians increasingly explore Telecardiology when attending digital-health tracks at a cardiology conference. With the rise of remote monitoring tools, virtual consultation workflows and AI-enhanced interpretation, Telecardiology is rapidly reshaping the management of digital cardiovascular care models across diverse clinical settings.

The session begins by explaining how telecardiology integrates wearable devices, smartphone-enabled ECGs, ambulatory monitoring platforms and cloud-based data systems to support early detection of arrhythmias, ischemic changes and heart-failure deterioration. Participants examine how remote care models reduce delays in diagnosis, support vulnerable populations and enhance continuity for chronic-disease management. Examples include home-based ECG recording, tele-echocardiography, remote auscultation and AI-interpreted rhythm data that help clinicians intervene sooner.

Diagnostic pathways in Telecardiology are explored through case-based analysis. Attendees review the accuracy of remote ECG interpretation, the evolving role of mobile event recorders, patch monitors and implantable loop recorders, and the integration of these tools into virtual care pathways. The session discusses hybrid models that combine in-person assessments with structured remote follow-up, offering greater efficiency without compromising patient safety.

Operational considerations are addressed, including cybersecurity, data governance, interoperability, reimbursement frameworks and workflow adaptation within hospitals and clinics. Participants learn how to choose appropriate remote-monitoring devices, create response protocols for abnormal transmissions and structure teleconsultation sessions that maintain clinical accuracy and patient confidence.

Telecardiology also plays a crucial role in heart-failure management, arrhythmia follow-up, pacemaker surveillance and preventive cardiology. Examples illustrate reduced hospitalisations, early detection of decompensation, improved medication adherence and enhanced patient empowerment. Rural and underserved communities particularly benefit from remote access to cardiac expertise, reducing geographic and socioeconomic barriers.

The session concludes with future developments such as AI-driven risk scoring, predictive analytics, virtual cardiac rehabilitation, digital biomarkers, and integration of telecardiology into personalised medicine. By understanding technological capabilities, clinical application and logistical considerations, clinicians will be better prepared to incorporate remote care solutions into long-term cardiac management.
