Heart failure is thus responsible for more than 100,000 hospitalizations per year
in France [
]. It accounts for 5% of all hospitalizations and is the main cause of hospitalization
among elderly subjects. Some of these hospitalizations could be avoided if patients
took greater responsibility for their disease and were followed up better [
]. This last point has been particularly well documented in heart failure and diabetes.
Telemedicine may be of aid in this setting. Indeed it may even optimize the management
of such chronic diseases, particularly by preventing emergency and repeat hospitalizations
[
[2]
]. It may also make it possible to structure integrated care pathways, with, again,
the most important evidence to be found in heart failure.Keywords
