New research Apple Watch detects heart failure before symptoms appear Via a simple electrocardiogram performed on an Apple smartwatch.
In terms of health, the possibilities offered by the Apple Watch continue to grow.First activate the abnormal rhythm detection function, then Run EKG on your couch at home using Apple Watch Series 4 And now, a new study conducted by the May York Clinic and presented at the San Francisco Conference of the Heart Rhythm Society takes the first step in the possibility of using the same tool, our Apple Watch single-lead ECG. Stepped out, heart failure can be detected before symptoms appear and there is already irreparable damage, so early treatment can be started.
This study was conducted using the US population and 11 electrocardiograms from 125.000 other countries, and the results presented at the aforementioned conference are very promising. How can heart failure be detected with a simple electrocardiogram?What they did in this study is that there are already algorithms that can use XNUMX-guided ECG (what doctors do with traditional devices) to diagnose this disease. Modify that algorithm to adapt it for use with a single-lead ECG (What makes you an Apple Watch). As we say, the results are very promising and are already in the advanced stage when they cause symptoms, and early detection not only enables more effective treatment but also prevents the detection and treatment of this disease. Irreparable damage that will represent a great advancement in.
Many questioned the medical usefulness of the Apple Watch and its electrocardiogram, but over time they showed it was wrong. A study that scientifically demonstrates the results of this wrist-worn tool, But there are also real-world examples of how Apple smartwatches helped control their illness. And the best part is that this is just the beginning.
