Patient acceptance of video consultations in cardiology
We identified moderate acceptance of video consultations in cardiology, with education, digital confidence, eHealth literacy, and PE as key factors associated with acceptance. Despite low prior use, perceived ease of use and SI were most strongly associated with acceptance. Addressing technical concerns and promoting digital literacy may enhance adoption, improving access to remote cardiac care.
