Abstract:
Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of death worldwide. They mainly include coronary artery disease, rheumatic heart disease, andcerebrovascular disease, and. Cardiovascular diseases can be better managed and diagnosed using wearable devices. Wearable devices, in comparison to traditional cardiovascular diagnostic tools, are not only inexpensive but also have the potential to provide continuous real-time monitoring. This paper reviews some of the recent advances in cardiovascular wearable devices. It discusses traditional implantable devices for cardiovascular diseases as well as wearable devices. The different types of wearable devices are categorized based on different technologies, namely using galvanic contact, photoplethysmography (PPG), and radio frequency (RF) waves. It also highlights the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in cardiovascular disease diagnostics as well as future perspectives on cardiovascular devices.

This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...
