According to an article by the European journal European Heart Journal, Apple Watch was able to detect signs of myocardial ischemia in an 80-year-old woman who was admitted to a hospital in Mainz (Germany). Surprisingly, after conducting a traditional examination with a 12-channel electrocardiograph, no signs were found.
As practice shows, the Apple Watch can be successfully used not only to detect atrial fibrillation or atrioventricular conduction disorders, but also to detect myocardial ischemia. Thus, watches can prevent myocardial infarction.
From the article European Heart Journal
The patient, by the way, was discharged two days after undergoing treatment. Her health is not in danger.
According to rumors, the Apple Watch Series 6, which may show this fall, add a new function to measure blood oxygen saturation, and in watchOS 7 there will be a sleep tracker and an application for tracking stress levels. Whether this will become available for previous generations of smart watches or will it be a feature of the new generation is still unknown.
