EFFECTIVENESS OF EARLY DETECTION OF ARRHYTHMIAS USING REMOTE ECG MONITORING AND WEARABLE DEVICES (SMARTWATCHES) IN REDUCING CLINICAL COMPLICATIONS SUCH AS STROKE
Keywords:
ECG monitoring, wearable devices, smartwatch, cardiac arrhythmia, atrial fibrillationAbstract
Cardiac arrhythmias are among the most common cardiovascular disorders and
are associated with serious complications such as stroke, heart failure, thromboembolism, and sudden
cardiac death. Early detection of arrhythmias is essential for timely intervention and prevention of
adverse clinical outcomes. Recent advances in digital health technologies have enabled the
development of remote electrocardiographic monitoring systems and wearable devices, including
smartwatches, capable of continuous heart rhythm assessment. This article evaluates the effectiveness
of remote ECG monitoring and wearable technologies in the early detection of arrhythmias and their
role in reducing clinical complications, particularly stroke. The study analyzes current evidence
regarding diagnostic accuracy, clinical benefits, patient outcomes, and future perspectives of these
technologies. The findings suggest that wearable devices significantly improve arrhythmia detection,
facilitate early treatment, and contribute to better cardiovascular outcomes and quality of life
