To examine current status and quality of CVD related apps available for download in China, a total of 151 apps from the top popular six app stores were analyzed. Data analysis uncovered a range of issues including missing of key variables in the pre-formatted daily records, no platform for interaction with relevant healthcare professionals and undesirable user-interface design. More importantly, these apps had low levels of adherence to internationally recognized guidelines in CVD management. Overall quality score of these apps was below the average (8.08/20). This study identified areas for improvement concerning the existing CVD related apps. Information may guide the further advancement of CVD related apps and benefit CVD management in China.
为了调查中国可下载的与心血管疾病（CVD）相关应用程序的现状和质量，我们分析了来自六大热门应用商店的总共151个应用程序。数据分析发现了一系列问题，包括预格式化的日常记录中关键变量缺失、缺乏与相关医疗保健专业人员互动的平台以及不良的用户界面设计。更重要的是，这些应用程序在心血管疾病管理方面对国际认可指南的遵循程度较低。这些应用程序的总体质量得分低于平均水平（8.08/20）。本研究确定了现有心血管疾病相关应用程序需要改进的方面。这些信息可能会指导心血管疾病相关应用程序的进一步发展，并使中国的心血管疾病管理受益。
