Telehealth, or telemedicine, is the use of technology to provide medical care remotely, it serves as an effective and preventative tool. Telehealth, continuous remote patient monitoring allows clinicians to detect small changes in patients’ states and deliver appropriate therapies. Geographical limitations are no longer an issue because telehealth has the potential to deliver medical treatment to people living in remote regions. A literature review was performed to acquire relevant and current information relating to the topic using CINAHL and the Cochrane Library. The research conducted using quantitative articles indicated that the use of telehealth or telemedicine has increased healthcare accessibility and efficiency, in addition to patient-centered care, which has resulted in better management of cardiovascular disease.
