Specialist TeleMed’s TeleCardiology solution provides board-certified cardiologists for even the most complex cardiac patients.
Our specialists in Cardiology are available 24/7/365 with response times of five minutes or less for true emergencies, fifteen minutes for urgent conditions, and thirty minutes for non-urgent conditions and follow-up calls.

While the intent in the primary service line is outlined above, some facilities may have needs that extend beyond the ED and the immediate care of cardiac patients. As such, while still in the inpatient setting, we can offer ongoing care of patients that may have lingering but non-urgent issues, or for non-urgent inpatient consultation services in the inpatient setting.
