OBJECTIVE: To test feasibility of tele-clinic visits using parentally acquired vital signs and focused echocardiographic images in patients with Marfan syndrome.
STUDY DESIGN: We included patients with Marfan syndrome aged 5-19 years followed in our clinic. We excluded patients with Marfan syndrome and history of previous aortic root (AoR) surgery, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmia, or AoR ≥4.5 cm. We trained parents in-person to acquire focused echocardiographic images on their children using a hand-held device as well as how to use a stadiometer, scale, blood pressure (BP) machine, and a digital stethoscope. Before tele-clinic visits, parents obtained the echocardiographic images and vital signs. We compared tele-clinic and on-site clinic visit data. Parental and clinic echocardiograms were independently analyzed.
RESULTS: Fifteen patient/parent pairs completed tele-clinic visits, conducted at a median of 7.0 (IQR 3.0-9.9) months from the in-person training session. Parents took a median of 70 (IQR 60-150) minutes to obtain the height, weight, heart rate, BP, cardiac sounds, and echocardiographic images before tele-clinic visits. Systolic BP was greater on-site than at home (median +13 mm Hg, P = .014). Height, weight, diastolic BP, heart rate, and AoR measurements were similar.
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides information for implementing tele-clinic visits using parentally acquired vital signs and echocardiographic images in patients with Marfan syndrome. The results show that tele-clinic visits are feasible and that parents were able to obtain focused echocardiographic images on their children.
