Abstract: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Telemedicine has emerged as an effective tool to improve treatment adherence, facilitate access to medical care, and enable continuous patient monitoring. This review analyzes various telemedicine interventions, such as remote monitoring, mobile applications, and video consultations, which have shown to reduce blood pressure, lower hospitalization rates, and improve quality of life. However, challenges remain regarding technological access and healthcare staff training, particularly in rural areas. Inclusive public policies and strengthened technological infrastructure are recommended to maximize the impact of telemedicine.
