Abstract
Telemedicine is the use of modern telecommunications and information technologies for the provision of clinical care to individuals at a distance, and transmission of information to provide that care. Recent advances in information technology and biomedicine increased significantly the technical feasibility, clinical feasibility and affordability enabled collaborative of telemedicine and medical service delivery. Health organizations around the world are becoming more interested in the acquisition and implementation the telemedicine technology to improve or expand existing services and patient care. The ultimate success of telemedicine in an organization requires the adoption of adequate care both technological and managerial issues. This study examined theadoption theories,the key management problem facing many health care organizations which interested in or currently evaluating telemedicine . this research models targeted the technology adoption and empirically evaluated in a study of the investigation involving more public health agencies and criticize the theories.Several research and management implications that emerged from the study results are discussed.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide; approximately 80% of CVD deaths occur in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). The epidemiologic transition to a high burden of ischemic heart disease (IHD) has happened with greater rapidity in LMICs than in high-income countries. The absolute number of individuals with premature IHD has increased substantially. Higher event rates are observed compared with high-income countries. The technological capability to do extraordinary things for patients has increased, as has patient demand, in a setting of constrained resources and expensive health care of variable quality.

Abstract
In its most direct interpretation, telemedicine is medical care provided at a distance. Although telemedicine's use had been steadily increasing, the COVID-19 pandemic prompted an unprecedented interest and urgency among patients, health care professionals, and policymakers to facilitate health care devoid of the need for in-person contact. The growth in personal access to telecommunications technology meant an unprecedented number of people in the United States and around the world had access to the equipment and technology that would make virtual care possible from the home. As the mass implementation of telemedicine unfolded, it became quickly apparent that scaling up the use of telemedicine presented considerable new challenges, some of which worsened disparities. This article describes those challenges by examining the history of telemedicine, its role in both supporting access and creating new barriers to access in trying to get everyone connected, frameworks for thinking about those barriers, and facilitators that may help overcome them, with a particular focus on older adults and patients with cancer in rural communities.

Confronting system barriers for ST- elevation MI in low and middle income countries with a focus on India. Indian Heart J 2017; 70:185-190.

Abstract
Our previous research found seven specific factors that cause system delays in ST-elevation Myocardial infarction management in developing countries. These delays, in conjunction with a lack of organized STEMI systems of care, result in inefficient processes to treat AMI in developing countries. In our present opinion paper, we have specifically explored the three most pertinent causes that afflict the seven specific factors responsible for system delays. In doing so, we incorporated a unique strategy of global STEMI expertise. With this methodology, the recommendations were provided by expert Indian cardiologist and final guidelines were drafted after comprehensive discussions by the entire group of submitting authors. We expect these recommendations to be utilitarian in improving STEMI care in developing countries.

Abstract
Current guidelines recommend that communities create and maintain a regional system of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) care that includes assessment and continuous quality improvement of emergency medical services and hospital-based activities. Availability and timely access is a challenge in many areas of the United States. This article reviews clinical trial data supporting the use of primary percutaneous coronary intervention as the optimal reperfusion strategy, and fibrinolysis as an option when this is not possible. It then describes the outcomes and benefits of implementing regional systems of STEMI care, and discusses ongoing challenges for STEMI system implementation, including inadequate data collection and feedback, and hospital and physician competition.

Abstract
Major disparities exist between developed and developing countries in the management of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). These pronounced differences result in significantly increased morbidity and mortality from AMI in different regions of the world. Lack of infrastructure, insurance, facilities, and skilled personnel are the major constraints. Primary percutaneous coronary intervention has revolutionized the treatment of AMI; however, its global use is limited by the listed constraints. Telemedicine provides an efficient methodology that can hugely increase access and accuracy of AMI management.
