The progression of cardiovascular disease is associated with several risk factors which include hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, stress, kidney disease, smoking and alcohol increase the risk of developing cardiovascular complications. The newer health care technologies in the cardiovascular disease prevention include sensor devices, webbased strategies, smart phone applications, telemedicine; text message based mobile applications, stem cell therapy, robotic sleeve, artificial intelligence algorithms, big data technology, voice technologies, block chain technology, bioresorbable stents, leadless pacemaker, chatbots technology are used to prevent the progression of cardiovascular disease. The cardiovascular diseases are imposing huge health care expenditure burden on patients and their families. Health care innovations deal with the application of ideas, procedures, and novel concepts designed to promotes benefits to society. Advance health care information technologies are useful for the detection of cardiovascular disease risk at the earlier stages to provide better health care interventions to improve their quality of life. The innovative technologies are boosting the advances in cardiovascular health care. The novel health care technologies should focus on developing new innovations for improving the quality of patient care services in hospitals.
