Abstract: The ongoing digital transformation is reshaping organisational and care delivery models in cardiology, positioning telemedicine as a pivotal tool to address increasing clinical and demographic complexity. This manuscript presents a comprehensive and critical overview of telemedicine applications in cardiovascular care, with a focus on its role in strengthening hospital-community integration, its deployment within hospital-based healthcare systems, and the associated regulatory and operational frameworks. The analysis encompasses the management of chronic cardiovascular conditions, such as heart failure and atrial fibrillation, through telemonitoring, telecontrol, televisit, and teleconsultation. Additionally, it explores the use of digital technologies in post-myocardial infarction follow-up, oral anticoagulation management, preoperative assessment, and care for elderly patients. The review also highlights the challenges and opportunities linked to digital infrastructure, interoperability, data protection, and healthcare professional training.
