Virtual visits in cardiovascular disease: a rapid review of the evidence.

Given the high prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Canada and globally, as well as the staggering cost to human life and health systems, there is an urgent need to understand the successful applications of telemedicine in cardiovascular medicine. While telemedicine in cardiology is well documented, reports on virtual care in the form of synchronous, real-time communication between healthcare providers and patients are limited. As a result of the immediate suspension of ambulatory services for cardiology in Alberta, Canada, due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic, we undertook a rapid review on the impact of non-virtual visits in cardiovascular ambulatory settings on patients' healthcare utilization and mortality.
