Nocturnal sympathetic overdrive is an early indicator of cardiovascular (CV) disease, emphasizing the importance of reliable remote patient monitoring (RPM) for autonomic function during sleep. To be effective, RPM systems must be accurate, non-intrusive, and cost-effective. This review evaluates non-invasive technologies, metrics, and algorithms for tracking nocturnal autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity, assessing their CV relevance and feasibility for integration into RPM systems.

Ballistocardiogram (BCG) features are of interest in wearable cardiovascular monitoring of cardiac performance. We assess feasibility of wrist acceleration BCG during exercise for estimating pulse transit time (PTT), enabling broader cardiovascular response studies during acute exercise and improved monitoring in individuals at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). We also examine the relationship between PTT, blood pressure (BP), and stroke volume (SV) during exercise and posture interventions.

Background: There is a need for simple, noninvasive solutions to remotely monitor and predict worsening heart failure (HF) events. SCALE-HF 1 (Surveillance and Alert-Based Multiparameter Monitoring to Reduce Worsening Heart Failure Events) is a prospective, multicenter study that will develop and assess the accuracy of the heart function index-a composite algorithm of noninvasive hemodynamic biomarkers from a cardiac scale-in predicting worsening HF events.
Methods: Approximately 300 patients with chronic HF and recent decompensation will be enrolled in this observational study for model development.

Cuffless blood pressure measurement enables unobtrusive and continuous monitoring that can be integrated with wearable devices to extend healthcare to non-hospital settings. Most of the current research has focused on the estimation of blood pressure based on pulse transit time or pulse arrival time using ECG or peripheral cardiac pulse signals as proximal time references. This study proposed the use of a phonocardiogram (PCG) and ballistocardiogram (BCG), two signals detected noninvasively, to estimate systolic blood pressure (SBP).

Evidence suggests that central aortic blood pressure (CABP) may provide a more accurate prognosis of cardiovascular events than peripheral pressure. The capability of monitoring CABP in a continuous, wearable, unobtrusive way might have a significant impact on hypertension management. The purpose of this study is to experimentally explore whether a wearable device equipped with an electrocardiogram (ECG) and ballistocardiogram (BCG) acquisition system could be used to predict CABP.
