“…Captured single-lead ECG tracings of ventricular tachycardia in a patient with structural heart disease, or pre-excited AF with rapid ventricular response in an otherwise healthy young individual, using an Apple Watch, have also been reported ( 104 ). In patients wearing the Apple Watch, episodes of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), such as atrioventricular reentrant and atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia have been recognized, as well ( 105 , 106 ). Furthermore, researchers suggest an alternative use of these wrist wearables, by placing the sensor either at both upper extremities or at the abdomen and the chest in order to receive a more comprehensive recording that best resembles the standard 12-lead ECG.…”

Remote monitoring and control of heart function are of primary importance for patient evaluation and management, especially in the modern era of precision medicine and personalized approach. Breaking technological developments have brought to the frontline a variety of smart wearable devices, such as smartwatches, chest patches/straps, or sensors integrated into clothing and footwear, which allow continuous and real-time recording of heart rate, facilitating the detection of cardiac arrhythmias. However, there is great diversity and significant differences in the type and quality of the information they provide, thus impairing their integration into daily clinical practice and the relevant familiarization of practicing physicians. This review will summarize the different types and dominant functions of cardiac smart wearables available in the market. Furthermore, we report the devices certified by official American and/or European authorities and the respective sources of evidence. Finally, we comment pertinent limitations and caveats as well as the potential answers that flow from the latest technological achievements and future perspectives.
