Article Synopsis
- Patients with previous heart attacks (MIs) face higher risks of future events, especially when stressed, prompting the need for effective monitoring tools.
- A new miniaturized patch designed to record multiple heart signals (ECG, SCG, PPG) has shown promising results in matching key ECG-derived features with those from a standard device (Biopac) during stress tests, indicating its potential reliability.
- The strong correlation in data (e.g., heart rate and variability) suggests that this patch could be clinically beneficial for monitoring post-MI patients and enhancing their outcomes, pending further evaluation.
Objective: Coronary heart disease is a leading cause of death and disability. Although psychological stress has been identified as an important potential contributor, mechanisms by which stress increases risk of heart disease and mortality are not fully understood. The purpose of this study was to assess mechanisms by which stress acts through the brain and heart to confer increased CHD risk.
