The integration of digital health technologies such as artificial intelligence and telemedicine into clinical practice has significant potential to improve the diagnosis, personalized treatment, and public health management of cardiovascular diseases.
This article reviews technological advances and global trends in the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of cardiovascular diseases. A bibliometric analysis was conducted using the SCOPUS database, following PRISMA-ScR guidelines, to identify relevant publications on technologies applied in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. An increase in scientific output since 2018 was observed, reflecting a growing interest in the technologies available for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, with terms such as "telemedicine", "artificial intelligence", "image analysis", and "cardiovascular disease" standing out as some of the most commonly used terms in reference to CVDs. Significant trends were identified, such as the use of artificial intelligence in precision medicine and machine learning algorithms to analyse data and predict cardiovascular risk, as well as advances in image analysis and 3D printing. Highlighting the role of artificial intelligence in the diagnosis and continuous monitoring of cardiovascular diseases, showing its potential to improve prognosis and reduce the incidence of acute cardiovascular events, this study presents the integration of traditional cardiology methods with digital health technologies-through a transdisciplinary approach-as a new direction in cardiovascular health, emphasising individualised care and improved clinical outcomes. These advances have great potential to impact healthcare, and as this field expands, it is crucial to understand the current research landscape and direction in order to take advantage of each technological advancement for improving the diagnosis, treatment, and quality of life of cardiovascular patients. It is concluded that the integration of these technologies into clinical practice has important implications for public health. Early detection and personalised treatment of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) can significantly reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with these diseases. In addition, the optimisation of public health resources through telemedicine and telecare can improve access to quality care. The implementation of these technologies can be a crucial step towards reducing the global burden of cardiovascular diseases.
