How Telecardiology Helps the Supply-Demand Mismatch and Enhances Care

As chief medical officer at Heartbeat Health, a virtual-first cardiology practice, Dr. Jana Goldberg is at the intersection of telehealth and cardiology care.She has several concerns when it comes to telemedicine and cardiac care. She's worried about access, because the supply-demand mismatch in cardiology is critical. She wants to improve outcomes, because she believes virtual care enables rapid titration of guideline-directed therapy. She's focused on resource optimization, because cardiologists can stratify patients by need with telemedicine. And she's interested in the role of hybrid models because virtual care will never replace in-person procedures or acute interventions.
