Noninvasive Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure Estimation in Heart Failure Patients With the Use of Wearable Sensing and AI

JACC Heart FailPublished Diagnostic accuracy study

Authors' conclusion

The CardioTag and its ML algorithm estimate PCWP with accuracy approaching implantable hemodynamic sensors
