Wearable heart rate variability and atrial fibrillation monitoring to improve clinically relevant endpoints in cardiac surgery-a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This systematic review aims to highlight the untapped potential of heart rate variability (HRV) and atrial fibrillation (AF) monitoring by wearable health monitoring devices as a critical diagnostic tool in cardiac surgery (CS) patients. We reviewed established predictive capabilities of HRV and AF monitoring in specific cardiosurgical scenarios and provide a perspective on additional predictive properties of wearable health monitoring devices that need to be investigated.

Methods

After screening most relevant databases, we included 33 publications in this review. Perusing these publications on HRV's prognostic value, we could identify HRV as a predictor for sudden cardiac death, mortality after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and post operative atrial fibrilla
