Overview
The aim is to compare the safety of using telemedicine and office visit follow-up in post-acute coronary syndrome patients
Description
Rehabilitation after acute coronary syndrome includes visits to the cardiologist's office at 1, 2, 6 and 12 months after discharge. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, visiting a cardiologist's office maybe impossible. In such cases telemedicine follow-up visit would be reasonable choice. Taking into account the absence of studies in this area, providing investigation evaluating parameters of safety for both methodics is relevant.
