Abstract：Objective To explore the hotspots and trends inwearable devices applied to atrial fibrillation.Methods The Web of Science core collection database is used as data of source.CiteSpace and VOSviewer software were used for visualization analysis from countries,institutions,keywords,and other aspects.Results As of February 1,2023,267 relevant research papers have been brought into the field.Professor Mcmanus,David D is the authorwith the highest volume of posts;The United States(106 articles)and China(45 articles)are the major research countries;Stanford University is the most published institution in the field;Circulation is an important co-cited journalin the field of wearable devices applied to atrial fibrillation.Through the visual analysis of keywords,the research hotspots in the field include"biomedical monitoring and management of atrial fibrillation"and"large-scale screening of atrial fibrillation using wearable devices".The focus has gradually shifted from"atrial fibrillation mortality research"and"cardiac resynchronization therapy"to"health management and monitoring".Conclusion This study used CiteSpace and Vosviewer software to analyze the research status and research hotspots of wearable devices applied to atrial fibrillation,indicating that the application of wearable devices has become a major trend and plays the whole role of the intervention process in preventing,developing,and rehabilitating.Further exploration is needed to promote the prevention and management of patients with atrial fibrillation and improve their living standards.
