Executive Summary – Guideline on Telecardiology in the Care of Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome and Other Cardiac Diseases

The clinical ability of specialists in tertiary hospitals may be used to improve the care in Remote Care Units (Unidades Remotas de Atendimento, URAs), offering support for early diagnosis and therapy guidance for non‑specialist medical practitioners providing medical care to patients in URAs,.

Communication channels in telemedicine include telephone lines for voice communication and connection to the internet, and for transmission of test results, ECG tracings, and images. Optionally, a video link may be used for visualization of the patient.
