Abstract
BACKGROUND: The use of remote monitoring has increased due to recently published randomised studies. However, its benefit during acute rhythm disorders still remains controversial. OBJECTIVES: The current review describes the current status and highlights possible application of telemedicine during acute rhythm disorders. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The prerequisites, structural properties of the sender/patient and the receiver of the data/physician are examined and the results of the current literature are presented. RESULTS: Telemedicine during emergency rhythm disorders are normally reserved for specific scenarios. The lack of 24/7 staff of the receiver/hospital represents the main barrier. CONCLUSIONS: Remote medicine in the current form is not yet ready to be implemented for acute rhythm disorders. Expansion of currently existing chest pain units (CPUs) might enable this 24/7 service in the near future.
