Technological Advancements in the Prevention, Diagnosis, and Management of Heart Disease: A Theoretical Framework

Abstract

Heart disease continues to be the leading cause of mortality worldwide, presenting significant

challenges to healthcare systems, especially in aging populations and those with sedentary

lifestyles. Technological innovation has introduced powerful tools that are transforming how

cardiovascular diseases are prevented, diagnosed, and managed. This paper presents a theoretical

framework that integrates systems theory, socio-technical theory, and the Health Belief Model to

evaluate how emerging technologies contribute to the evolving landscape of heart disease care. By

aligning theory with innovation, we explore the potential of technology to enhance patient

outcomes, clinical efficiency, and long-term disease prevention strategies.
