Heart Rate Trajectories And Clinical Correlates In Patients Recovering From Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Longitudinal Analysis Of Apple Watch Heart Rate Recordings

While a declining HR was observed in AMI patients over 30 days postdischarge, patients with hypertension, T2DM, or hyperlipidemia showed a slower decrease in HR relative to their counterparts. This study demonstrates the feasibility of using wearables to model the recovery process of patients with AMI and represents a first step in helping pinpoint patients vulnerable to decompensation.
