Heart Rate Variability for Evaluating Psychological Stress Changes in Healthy Adults: A Scoping Review.

The utility of heart rate variability (HRV) for characterizing psychological stress is primarily impacted by methodological considerations such as study populations, experienced versus induced stress, and method of stress assessment. Here, we review studies on the associations between HRV and psychological stress, examining the nature of stress, ways stress was assessed, and HRV metrics used. The review was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines on select databases.

Preliminary Analysis of a Wireless and Wearable Electronic-Textile EASI-Based Electrocardiogram.

With cardiovascular disease continuing to be the leading cause of death and the primary reason for hospitalization worldwide, there is an increased burden on healthcare facilities. Electronic-textile (e-textile)-based cardiac monitoring offers a viable option to allow cardiac rehabilitation programs to be conducted outside of the hospital. This study aimed to determine whether signals produced by an e-textile ECG monitor with textile electrodes in an EASI configuration are of sufficient quality to be used for cardiac monitoring.

Electronic textile-based electrocardiogram monitoring in cardiac patients: a scoping review.

Objective: The objectives of this scoping review were to explore, organize and present the existing research literature on the use of electronic textile (e-textile)-based resting, signal-averaged, ambulatory or exercise electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring to evaluate the application of e-textile technologies for ECG cardiac monitoring.

Introduction: E-textile-based ECG monitoring of cardiac patients offers a possible new alternative for in-hospital monitoring and post-discharge monitoring during cardiac rehabilitation.

Inclusion Criteria: Studies that included patients (inpatients or outpatients) who qualified for cardiac rehabilitation programs or continuous ambulatory ECG monitoring were considered.

Electronic textile electrocardiogram monitoring in cardiac patients: a scoping review protocol.

This scoping review aims to explore and scope the literature and research on the use of e-textile electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring in cardiac patients and provide a unique contribution to the available evidence. The objectives of this scoping review are:The questions of this review are.
