摘要
背景:面向消费者的可穿戴设备(CWDs),如智能手机和智能手表,通过使用基于心电图或光电体积脉搏波(PPG)的数字记录的专有算法检测心房颤动(AF)的能力已获得突出地位。尽管有许多单独的验证研究,但缺乏对设备间性能的直接比较。目的:本研究旨在评价和比较CWDs区分窦性心律和房颤的能力。方法:通过心脏病科门诊登记有窦性心律或房颤的患者。参与者被指示按随机顺序使用手持6导联心电图(ECG)设备(KardiaMobile 6L)、智能手表衍生的单导联心电图(Apple Watch)和两个基于ppg的智能手机应用程序(FibriCheck和preventticus)进行心律测量,同时使用12导联参考心电图作为金标准。结果:研究共纳入122名参与者:中位年龄为69岁(IQR 61-77)岁,63.9% (n=78)为男性,25% (n=30)为AF患者,9.8% (n=12)没有智能手机使用经验,73% (n=89)没有使用智能手表的经验。所有设备检测自动对焦的灵敏度均为100%。KardiaMobile 6L检测窦性心律的特异性为96.4% (95% CI 89.5%-98.8%), Apple Watch为97.8% (95% CI 91.6%-99.5%), FibriCheck为98.9% (95% CI 92.5%-99.8%), Preventicus为97.8% (95% CI 91.5%-99.4%) (P= 0.50)。在KardiaMobile 6L和Apple Watch中,10.7% (95% CI 6.3%-17.5%)的病例观察到质量测量不足,FibriCheck为7.4% (95% CI 3.9%-13.6%), preventticus为14.8% (95% CI 9.5%-22.2%) (P= 0.21)。与其他设备相比,参与者更喜欢苹果手表来监测他们的心律。结论:在本研究人群中,基于ECG或PPG使用CWDs对窦性心律和房颤的区分是高度准确的,在检查的设备之间没有明显的性能差异。
Comparative Evaluation of Consumer Wearable Devices for Atrial Fibrillation Detection: Validation Study.
Background: Consumer-oriented wearable devices (CWDs) such as smartphones and smartwatches have gained prominence for their ability to detect atrial fibrillation (AF) through proprietary algorithms using electrocardiography or photoplethysmography (PPG)-based digital recordings. Despite numerous individual validation studies, a direct comparison of interdevice performance is lacking.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the ability of CWDs to distinguish between sinus rhythm and AF.
Methods: Patients exhibiting sinus rhythm or AF were enrolled through a cardiology outpatient clinic. The participants were instructed to perform heart rhythm measurements using a handheld 6-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) device (KardiaMobile 6L), a smartwatch-derived single-lead ECG (Apple Watch), and two PPG-based smartphone apps (FibriCheck and Preventicus) in a random sequence, with simultaneous 12-lead reference ECG as the gold standard.
Results: A total of 122 participants were included in the study: median age 69 (IQR 61-77) years, 63.9% (n=78) men, 25% (n=30) with AF, 9.8% (n=12) without prior smartphone experience, and 73% (n=89) without experience in using a smartwatch. The sensitivity to detect AF was 100% for all devices. The specificity to detect sinus rhythm was 96.4% (95% CI 89.5%-98.8%) for KardiaMobile 6L, 97.8% (95% CI 91.6%-99.5%) for Apple Watch, 98.9% (95% CI 92.5%-99.8%) for FibriCheck, and 97.8% (95% CI 91.5%-99.4%) for Preventicus (P=.50). Insufficient quality measurements were observed in 10.7% (95% CI 6.3%-17.5%) of cases for both KardiaMobile 6L and Apple Watch, 7.4% (95% CI 3.9%-13.6%) for FibriCheck, and 14.8% (95% CI 9.5%-22.2%) for Preventicus (P=.21). Participants preferred Apple Watch over the other devices to monitor their heart rhythm.
Conclusions: In this study population, the discrimination between sinus rhythm and AF using CWDs based on ECG or PPG was highly accurate, with no significant variations in performance across the examined devices.
