    AbstractRural communities suffer from significant disparities in cardiovascular health. The reasons for worse cardiovascular health and outcomes is due to a number of factors including economic, educational, and healthcare access. This commentary draws attention to these challenges and highlights how telemedicine may reduce a portion of this gap. In particular, an opportunity to modify cardiac rehabilitation programs to include a remotely-administered model using telemedicine is a novel method that holds promise.Copyright © 2021.
