    Telehealth has emerged as a promising approach for optimizing outcomes in chronic heart failure (CHF). Telehealth is broadly defined as the use of audio, video, and other telecommunications and electronic information technologies to offer health services, transfer various types of information, and assist healthcare personnel at remote sites. The use of telehealth as a strategy for the management of CHF can be very beneficial in combating episodes of exacerbation and preventing rehospitalizations, urgent care visits, and emergency room visits.
