Description
Andrea Matteucci and co-authors reviewed wearable defibrillators in a 2026 paper. Sudden cardiac death risk spikes for a short window after a heart attack or a fresh heart failure diagnosis. An implanted defibrillator may be too much, too soon, since many hearts recover with drugs and time.
A vest that watches the heart and shocks it if a lethal rhythm strikes can bridge that window. The review gathers the trial proof and the day-to-day clinic data on the vest. It weighs who benefits, how long to wear it, and the snags of real use. The aim is a bridge that guards without over-treating.
