title: ECG acquisition using telemedicine in Alaska.
abstract: The Alaska Federal Health Care Access Network includes a telecommunications network supporting telemedicine carts and store-and-forward telemedicine software throughout Alaska. Electrocardiograms are being acquired at remote locations and being interpreted at regional and tertiary care facilities as part of routine and acute care. This promising new technology is just beginning to have an impact on cardiovascular patient care.
