Smartwatch Detection of Reduced LVEF? Not So Fast, Study Says.
The Brief
- A Korean study found difficulties with smartwatch detection of left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) in its current state.
- The study used an AI-ECG approach to assess smartwatch-based detection of reduced LVEF.
- The findings temper enthusiasm for smartwatch detection of LVSD, as reported by MedPage Today.
Why it matters
Smartwatch tools that flag reduced ejection fraction could change how heart failure is screened, so readers should know that current accuracy is still questioned.
Who’s affected
- clinicians and cardiologists
- patients using smartwatch heart monitoring
