      <dc:description>Background: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally. There are&#xd;
six cardiovascular risk factors: diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, overweight, sedentary&#xd;
lifestyle and smoking. Due to the low attendance of healthy people in the health system, the use&#xd;
of telemedicine can influence the acquisition of a heart-healthy lifestyle. Objective: this systematic&#xd;
review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the effectiveness of telemedicine and e-health in&#xd;
reducing cardiovascular risk. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were carried out&#xd;
using the PubMed, Scopus, Cinhal and WOS databases. Randomized controlled studies between&#xd;
2017 and 2022 in which telemedicine was used to reduce any of the risk factors were included. The&#xd;
methodological quality was assessed using the “PEDro” scale. Results: In total, 763 studies were&#xd;
obtained; after the review, 28 target articles were selected and finally grouped as follows: 13 studies&#xd;
on diabetes, six on hypertension, seven on obesity and two on physical activity. For all of the risk&#xd;
factors, a small effect of the intervention was seen. Conclusions: although the current evidence is&#xd;
heterogeneous regarding the statistically significant effects of telemedicine on various cardiovascular&#xd;
risk factors, its clinical relevance is undeniable; therefore, its use is recommended as long as the&#xd;
necessary infrastructure exists.</dc:description>
