Discrimination of prevalent cardiovascular disease
upin humans1
Smartwatch-measured pulse wave velocity predicts discrimination of prevalent cardiovascular disease in humans (AUC 0.71).
“SW-PWV demonstrated moderate discrimination for prevalent CVD (area under the curve = 0.71).”

Smartwatch-measured pulse wave velocity is associated with hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, coronary heart disease, stroke, and carotid plaque in humans.
“SW-PWV was significantly elevated in participants with hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, coronary heart disease, stroke, and carotid plaque, with hypertension and carotid plaque exhibiting the strongest correlations.”
