Contemporary Considerations in the Evolution of Wearable Technology for Arrhythmia Detection

Curr Cardiol Rev. 2023;19(6):93-99. doi: 10.2174/1573403X19666230811093048.ABSTRACTArrhythmias are an increasingly common cause of hospital admissions worldwide. Late detection of arrhythmias is associated with a significantly increased risk of cardiovascular complications. Early identification and management of life-threatening arrhythmias is paramount to reduce mortality. Wearable technologies are now widespread among the general population, providing a continuous output of healthcare data. However, this data are not routinely integrated into clinical practice. Here, we begin by outlining the current landscape in wearable technology for aiding arrhythmia detection; we then consider the clinical impact of wearable technology for both clinicians and patients; we further highlight the latest and emerging trials in wearable technology for arrhythmia detection and finally postulate the wider implications of the expansion of such cardiac devices.PMID:37697927 | DOI:10.2174/1573403X19666230811093048
