e-Health, defined as "the use of new information and communication technologies (ICT) to improve or support health and health care," has grown in popularity over recent years as a cost-efficient, rapidly adaptable tool to deliver health care education to a wide audience. In the field of vascular disease, for which early detection and risk factor management may greatly influence patient outcomes, application of e-Health educational resources may provide innovative solutions to facilitate evidence-based and patient-centered care provision of care; to enable patients to take a more active role in the management of their long-term vascular health conditions; and to augment their preparation for, and recovery from, surgical procedures.
