This accessible guide to advanced medical technologies and methodologies for monitoring, diagnosing, and predicting cardiovascular diseases addresses sensor technologies and non-invasive monitoring methods and looks at the growing integration of machine learning and AI.

The authors guide readers from an introduction to the cardiovascular system and a review of traditional and modern diagnostic methods before explaining recent advances in medical technology, such as wearable smart devices and their sensor types (namely, pressure, photoelectric, and ultrasonic), and how these advances have been applied to cardiovascular disease diagnosis and detection. Key topics include pulse wave analysis, sensor technology for radial blood pressure monitoring, and the integration of artificial intelligence to enhance predictive accuracy. With a focus on continuous monitoring solutions, this book highlights groundbreaking research on non-invasive detection methods and the development of intelligent health systems for real-time patient evaluation. The authors also discuss how the widespread implementation of machine learning and deep learning techniques have influenced the field and propose new methods for enhancing continuous monitoring and risk prediction systems. The information within this book will help to bridge the gap between research and clinical practice.

This short guide is a valuable resource primarily for academic readers in the fields of biomedical engineering, physics, computer science, and medical imaging. Clinicians will also benefit from the discussions of applications and future research and clinical trends.
