Telemedicine is now an integral part of regular clinical and educational activity in Canadian paediatric cardiac centres. Transmission of echocardiograms is available to most paediatric cardiology centres from regional hospitals, allowing cardiac diagnosis at a distance. Teleconferencing networks are in frequent use for educational purposes, case conferencing and consultation with families. Teleauscultation is being investigated for remote screening of murmurs in children.
