摘要
Background: Prior studies have shown that cardiovascular disease (CVD) can be effectively managed through telehealth. However, there are little national data on the use of telehealth in people with CVD or CVD risk factors. We aimed to determine the prevalence of telehealth visits and visit modality (video versus audio-only) in people with CVD and CVD risk factors. We also assessed their rationale and satisfaction with telehealth visits. Methods and Results: A nationally representative sample of 6252 participants from the 2022 Health Information National Trends Survey 6 was used. We defined the CVD risk categories as having no self-reported CVD (coronary heart disease or heart failure) or CVD risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, obesity, or current smoking), CVD risk factors alone, and CVD. Multivariable logistic regression, adjusting for major sociodemographic factors, assessed the relationship between CVD risk and telehealth uptake. The weighted prevalence of using telehealth was 50% (95% CI, 44%-56%) for individuals with CVD and 40% (95% CI, 37%-43%) for those with CVD risk factors alone. Individuals with CVD had the highest odds of using any telehealth (audio-only or video) (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 2.02 [95% CI, 1.39-2.93]) when compared with those without CVD or CVD risk factors. Notably, 21% (95% CI, 16.3%-25.6%) of patients with CVD used audio-only visits (adjusted OR, 2.38 [95% CI, 1.55-3.64]) compared with patients without CVD or CVD risk factors. Conclusions: In a nationally representative survey, there was high prevalence of any (video or audio-only) telehealth visits in people with CVD, and audio-only visits comprised a significant proportion of telehealth visits in this population.
