Specifically, economic instability and suboptimal living conditions within the neighborhood and built environment directly determine access to resources and opportunities for healthful behaviors. In this scientific statement, we examined the technology-enabled interventions that address cardiovascular health behaviors from adolescence to adulthood in populations most affected by health disparities. We used a broad definition of technology, including wearables, applications, and telehealth, for behavior tracking. Aligning with Life's Essential 8, we focused on interventions targeting behavior change related to physical activity, sedentary time, dietary intake, tobacco cessation, and sleep health to improve cardiovascular health. The digital determinants of health are important adjuncts to the social determinants and operate at the individual, interpersonal, community, and societal levels. The digital determinants of health include the impact of digital technologies (eg, wearables, telemedicine) across health outcomes. Evidence of effective interventions using technology to improve cardiovascular health through positive behavior change is critical for preventing cardiovascular disease events. Stronger evidence is needed to inform and implement effective approaches that are scalable and cost-effective across communities and health care institutions to advance digital equity in cardiovascular health. Dissemination of digital solutions to improve cardiovascular health in communities or across health care systems must ensure effective, feasible, available, and affordable solutions for populations most in need.</p>","PeriodicalId":10331,"journal":{"name":"Circulation","volume":" ","pages":"e972-e985"},"PeriodicalIF":35.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143794863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Transcatheter interventions are now available for the treatment of valvular heart disease, and their efficacy and safety have been tested in randomized controlled trials. However, evidence is still limited and sometimes inconclusive because several aspects of these trials limit their interpretation or consistency. These include heterogeneity in the pathogenesis and clinical characteristics of patients, the dynamic nature of secondary atrioventricular valve disease severity, the role of heart failure medications and devices, dependency on procedural results and operators' skills, smaller number of patients enrolled and the power to detect differences in trials, and limitations to use patients' reported outcomes with unblinded study protocols.
