Abstract As cardiovascular diseases ranking first in terms of morbidity and mortality in China and showing a tendency of continuous increase and rejuvenation, they have become a major public health concern. Recently, flexible electronic technology has been widely used in the healthcare industry, offering new approaches for timely detection and precise management of various diseases. Notably, the flexible electronic technology can greatly improve the wearing comfort and monitoring accuracy of wearable sensors for cardiovascular diseases, which are characterized by acute onset, frequent recurrence and insidiousness. In this review, classifications and principles of wearable sensor technologies are briefly introduced in combination with the development trend of flexible electronics and wearable sensors. Recent advances in flexible wearable sensors are discussed, with a primary focus on monitoring important parameters related to cardiovascular disease, including heart rate, blood pressure, blood flow and oxygen saturation. Finally, this article discusses the challenges and issues that need to be addressed for flexible wearable sensors in the field of cardiovascular diagnosis and treatment, and suggests the corresponding development directions.
