According to sports enthusiast Phil Harrison, he was training for a marathon when he began to experience persistent heart palpitations. So he decided to use the EKG function on his Apple Watch, to reveal what's going on. The feature had only been live in Harrison's home UK for just a week at the time. As part of the measurement, the watch alerted him to the risk of atrial fibrillation, which, in Harrison's own words, caused great concern. He decided to see a specialist doctor, and the whole event ended with a planned heart operation.

In his post on Reddit, Harrison said that his doctors forbade him to participate in the marathon, which was supposed to start ten days after the mentioned event. “Now, two and a half months after a series of tests, I have been told I need valve repair via open heart surgery,” Harrison writes. In his own words, doctors advised him to undergo the procedure "sooner rather than later" and scheduled the operation for July 3 of this year.

How many more times? 👏🏻
Until we accept (and nestwe swear by our signature) that Apple is the best thing since the beginning of time...
And what about mentioning that their ECG is not accurate at all? :D About six people I know have been shown to be slowly dying..
Your mom will definitely not let you have 6 friends.
Just tighten the strap. As soon as it's a little looser, it automatically starts evaluating nonsense (pauses). But if it detects an arrhythmia in the continuous scan, then I would trust the watch.
