Wearable Smartwatches for Atrial Fibrillation Detection and Burden Estimation After Ablation: Comparison With Continuous Monitoring
Smartwatch-based AF detection algorithms demonstrate strong correlation with ICM-derived AF burden and clinically good sensitivity for recurrence detection, outperforming conventional non-invasive strategies. These findings support the integration of wearables as a scalable alternative for post-ablation rhythm monitoring.
