Background
Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Early detection of arrhythmias, ischemic events, heart failure decompensation, and other cardiac abnormalities is essential for improving outcomes. Recent advances in wearable cardiac monitoring technologies have transformed cardiovascular care by enabling continuous, non-invasive, real-time physiological monitoring outside traditional healthcare settings.
Objective
To evaluate current wearable cardiac monitoring technologies, their clinical applications, diagnostic performance, and utility in contemporary cardiovascular practice.
Methods
A retrospective multicenter observational study involving 500 patients utilizing wearable cardiac monitoring devices between January 2021 and December 2025 was conducted. Device performance, diagnostic yield, patient adherence, and clinical outcomes were analyzed.
Results
Wearable monitoring demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy for arrhythmia detection, improved identification of atrial fibrillation, enhanced patient engagement, and facilitated early clinical intervention. Continuous monitoring significantly increased diagnostic yield compared with conventional intermittent monitoring methods.
Conclusion
Wearable cardiac technologies represent an important advancement in cardiovascular medicine, offering continuous monitoring, early disease detection, personalized management, and improved clinical outcomes. Integration of artificial intelligence and remote healthcare systems is expected to further expand their role.
