Application of eHealth Tools in Anticoagulation Management After Cardiac Valve Replacement: Scoping Review Coupled With Bibliometric Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Anticoagulation management can effectively prevent complications in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement (CVR). The emergence of eHealth tools provides new prospects for the management of long-term anticoagulants. However, there is no comprehensive summary of the application of eHealth tools in anticoagulation management after CVR.

Objective

Our objective is to clarify the current state, trends, benefits, and challenges of using eHealth tools in the anticoagulation management of patients after CVR and provide future directions and recommendations for development in this field.

Methods

This scoping review follows the 5-step framework developed by Arksey and O'Malley. We searched 5 databases such as PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, CINAHL, and Embase
