Translational Methods for Wearable Heart Rate Variability Monitoring in Older Adults: Preoperative Risk Stratification and Postoperative Monitoring.
Journal article J Cardiovasc Transl Res · February 5, 2026 Low preoperative heart rate variability (HRV) is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes and delirium after geriatric surgery, but in-person testing is burdensome and impractical. To evaluate wrist-based wearables for remotely capturing preoperativ ... Full text Link to item CiteDeveloping Topics.
Journal article Alzheimers Dement · December 2025 BACKGROUND: Postoperative delirium (POD), characterized by acute fluctuations in consciousness and attention, is associated with increased risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. However, the neural mechanisms underlying attention impairments in ...
