Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid integration of digital technologies into cardiovascular care has significantly transformed prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term management of heart diseases. Advances in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have strengthened connectivity among cardiologists, nurses, multidisciplinary teams, and patients, promoting more coordinated, data-driven, and patient-centered models of cardiovascular care.
Within this context, e-Health encompasses digital strategies that support cardiovascular risk assessment, remote monitoring, clinical decision-making, and continuity of care. Mobile health (m-Health) applications and wearable devices play a central role in monitoring blood pressure, heart rate, cardiac rhythm, physical activity, and medication adherence, contributing to improved self-management and early detection of clinical deterioration in patients with conditions such as heart failure, arrhythmias, and coronary artery disease.
Emerging technologies—including artificial intelligence, big data analytics, telecardiology, remote cardiac rehabilitation, and interoperable electronic health records—expand opportunities for predictive risk stratification, personalized interventions, and quality improvement in cardiovascular services. Digital tools also enhance nursing practice through protocol automation, patient education platforms, virtual simulation, and innovative training strategies in cardiovascular nursing.
However, the digital transformation of cardiology and nursing practice also raises important ethical, legal, and regulatory challenges, particularly regarding data privacy, cybersecurity, professional training, and equitable access to technological resources, ensuring safe, evidence-based, and inclusive implementation remains essential.
This Special Issue aims to gather high-quality contributions that explore theoretical frameworks, clinical applications, implementation science, and policy implications of digital health innovations in cardiology and cardiovascular nursing across diverse healthcare settings worldwide.
