fear of the virus postponed follow-up and manage patients' underlying medical problems in
cardiovascular patients during the Covid-19 pandemic. The innovation in technological
advances provide a new opportunities for overcoming the problems and challenges of this

managing patients with cardiovascular disease during Covid-19.
Methodology: The review was conducted on studies published from 2019 to 2021, in
PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar and Scopus databases. The review was conducted
based on the proposed Arksey and O'Malley framework. a) Identifying the research
objectives and search strategy b) Identifying relevant articles c) sStudy selection d) Data
extraction and e) ummarizing, discussing, analyzing and reporting of results.
Result: Studies have confirmed the effectiveness of e-health approaches including
telemedicine systems, artificial intelligence, electronic health records, expert systems and
monitoring systems to reduce contact, rapid screening and proper disease management &
control. E-health intervention minimized the risk of infected with Covid-19 in patients. Also
decreased waiting time to visit, saved a cost, and maintained same quality of care in
comparison to traditional visit .
Conclusion: Proper use of e-health technologies requires adequate infrastructure and proper
use of this infrastructure. Also, users should receive the necessary training in this field and
technologies should be provided according to the needs of users. With applying standard ehealth
tools and systems, it is possible to optimally use of resources and follow-up of
patients. |
