It is not the first time, and everything seems to indicate that it will not be the last time we talk about a person who has either saved his life thanks to the Apple Watch or has discovered that he suffered from heart disease. Tim Cook himself usually publicly thanks these users the trust they have placed in the Apple Watch.
Today we talk again about another user from North Carolina of the Apple Watch, who thanks to this device has been detected that he suffered from supraventricular tachycardia. Beth Stamps claims that she bought the Apple Watch precisely because of the appeal of its heart-centered health features.
According to ABC, Beth Stamps is a home nurse. During his visit to a patient, he noticed how her heart rate had increased alarmingly, as if he had just finished running a marathon and couldn't get it to slow down despite sitting for a while to rest.
While sitting, your Apple Watch indicated that her heart rate was abnormally high, 177 beats per minute. His co-workers notified the emergency services and the doctors carried out tests on him for two days.
Finally, after receiving the test results, the doctors you were diagnosed with supraventricular tachycardia, disease that Wikipedia describes as:
In cardiology, supraventricular tachycardia is one of the heart rhythm disorders characterized by an accelerated heart rate whose electrical signal originates in the atrioventricular node or in the cardiac atrium
Beth claims that she had experienced her heartbeat racing in the past for short periods of time, but it had always decreased. The fact that his watch quantified exactly what was happening to his heart rate helped him finally make the decision to seek a medical solution. To this day, he is taking medication to correct his abnormal heart rate.
