Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Patient acceptance of video consultations in cardiovascular care is moderate. Factors like education, digital confidence, and eHealth literacy influence adoption, with performance expectancy and social influence being key drivers for remote cardiac care.
Area Of Science
- Cardiology
- Digital Health
- Health Services Research
Background
- Cardiovascular disease is a leading global cause of mortality.
- Traditional in-person care faces access and travel barriers.
- Video consultations offer improved accessibility and efficiency in healthcare delivery.
Purpose Of The Study
- To investigate patient acceptance of video consultations in cardiovascular care.
- To identify key factors influencing the integration of video consultations into routine cardiology practice.
- To assess the role of digital literacy and confidence in technology adoption.
Main Methods
- A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 337 patients at a cardiology university hospital.
- A modified unified theory of acceptance and use of technology instrument assessed acceptance.
- Statistical analysis identified predictors of video consultation acceptance.
Main Results
- Overall acceptance of video consultations was moderate (mean score 2.88/5).
- Only 3% of participants had prior experience with video consultations.
- Higher education, digital confidence, and eHealth literacy predicted greater acceptance.
- Performance expectancy (PE) and social influence (SI) explained a significant portion of the variance in acceptance (R² = 0.724).
Conclusions
- Moderate patient acceptance for video consultations in cardiology was observed.
- Education, digital confidence, eHealth literacy, PE, and SI are crucial factors for adoption.
- Enhancing digital literacy and addressing technical concerns can improve remote cardiac care access.

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) scanning is an advanced cardiac imaging technique that utilizes CT technology, with or without intravenous (IV) contrast, to produce accurate cross-sectional virtual slices of specific areas of the heart, coronary circulation, and major blood vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary veins, and arteries. The computer processes these slices to generate three-dimensional images. Multidetector CT (MDCT) is a rapid form of CT scanning that captures multiple slices...
Cardiac catheterization is an invasive diagnostic technique used to identify and evaluate structural and functional diseases of the heart and major blood vessels. This technique diagnoses congenital heart disease, coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, and coronary spasms and assesses ventricular function. It helps guide treatment decisions, including the need for revascularization procedures like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and...
Cardiac imaging studies encompass a wide range of noninvasive and minimally invasive techniques designed to visualize the heart's structure and function in detail. One such technique is echocardiography, which uses high-frequency ultrasound waves to produce detailed images of the heart, known as echocardiograms.
Indications: Echocardiography is utilized to diagnose heart failure, valve disorders, and myocardial infarction. It also assesses cardiac structures' size, shape, and motion,...
