Abstract
Introduction. Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death; they involve big healthcare costs and a growing health issue. Mobile technology could be effective for cardiovascular prevention in children and adolescents. Aim: To review the scientific literature on the prevention of cardiovascular diseases a in children and adolescents and determine the interventions effectiviness for cardiovascular prevention through mobile technology in this population.
Methodology. A bibliographic search was carried out in PubMed, CINAHL, SciELO, LILACS, WOS and Scopus databases. MeSH and common terms were used to formulate search approaches. The search period ranged from July 15 to August 15, 2019.
Results. 16 articles were chosen out of 577 initially found. Experimental studies, randomized trials and narrative or systematic reviews were found that were focused on classical or telemedicine-based cardiovascular prevention. No specific articles on telemedicine-based prevention in children were found, although they were found for adolescents.
Discussion and Conclusions. Mobile technology is a promising tool for cardiovascular prevention interventions in children and adolescents, despite the lack of studies and its limitations. Nurses are health promoters who may be necessary to carry out more effective telemedicine interventions. Future studies focusing on cardiovascular prevention through better eHealth structures and younger populations-centered interventions are needed.
