The aim of this paper is to present in brief the attempts to develop a user-friendly environment for tele-cardiology consultations in a rural area as part of pilot project 7- BUL/03/001 co-funded by Bulgaria and International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Switzerland. The project is in its first half. The emphasis on tele-cardiology (monitoring and transmission of ECG, blood pressure and heart rate data) is due to the fact that cardiovascular diseases are leading cause of death in the country. The examination of vital cardiovascular parameters is the first and that's why the most often used tool providing clues to cardiovascular problems. Precise monitoring of these parameters is a good method to reveal first symptoms of coming myocardial infarct or other cardiovascular complications. Groups that will benefit from telecardiology application are patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases; patients on medications, which may affect the heart and elderly.
