Kaleb, putting in the work and crushing this workout. Great job!

An Apple Watch / ECG app saved my friend’s life.

“A 61 year old man, setting up for my morning workout; initially did not feel well and decided to skip the lift. Then REALLY started to feel bad - pounding heart rate, verge of blacking out. Grabbed my Apple Watch, pulled up the ECG app and recorded a really scary trace. Called the ambulance and got a ride to the ER.
After a little bit sitting in the ER on an EKG with nothing weird going on (of course), the ER doc came in getting ready to discuss how I might get discharged. When I showed him what I had recorded, you could literally see his mouth drop open (there may have been a ‘holly sh!t’ too) and he immediately said ‘while this is not enough to tell us what is going on, it is enough to show that there is a serious problem. You’re being admitted, and I’m calling for a couple of cardiac consults now.’ Later when talking with the electro-cardiologist, he said he was quite surprised I was able to record the event - the expectation for this kind of event is that I would suffer a heart attack and since no one else was awake/knowing what was going on, I would die.
Did the Apple Watch completely diagnose the event - NO, and I don’t expect it to. It did allow me to record a weird event that I firmly believe setup a prompt treatment plan that in the end found and eliminated an unusual ‘wiring problem’.”

Know the difference.
