| Apple Watch shows a deficiency of ischemia of the heart muscle |
The Apple Watch has appeared several times in history because it warns its wearer of potential heart problems and is known as the early warning system for serious cardiovascular problems. In one recent case, Apple mobile devices provide more hospital equipment. This is good evidence.
A new article in the European Heart Journal tells the story of an 80-year-old woman living in Mainz. Apple Smartwatch shows that the hospital's ECG was absent from the heart during the diagnosis. Signs of illness.
The woman reached the University of Mainz medical center and complained of chest pain, arrhythmia and dizziness, which was described as a typical symptom of angina.
The hospital doctor performed a routine ECG examination and found no signs of ischemia. However, the patient presented to the doctor the results of her EKG scan on Apple Watch. Included "after a significant drop in the ST sector." As a result, the medical team ignored other diagnostic measures.
Although hospital equipment did not show that she was suffering from ischemic disease, the doctor noticed in the hourly results that there were signs of myocardial ischemia that occurred when blood flow to the heart decreased, which prevented the heart muscle in general. Adequate oxygen intake reduces blood flow due to a partial or complete blockage of the arteries of the heart.
The patient was transferred to the catheter laboratory, which showed the correctness of the notes on the Apple Smartwatch, received coronary treatment, and left the hospital the next day.
The European Journal of Health has concluded that Apple Watch can be used to detect ischemia.
"The development of smart technologies has paved the way for new diagnostic features so that Apple Watch can be used not only to detect atrial fibrillation or ventricular atrial disease, but also for ischemic myocardial ischemia," the article said.
Apple has reportedly added a fourth-generation ECG to smart watches. Current speculation suggests that the next generation of Apple smart watches may contain oxygen in the blood as well as an extended ECG function.
