They were one of the latest smart devices that caused the most furor, those wearables that we always carry on our wrist, smart watches. There are a multitude of brands, almost more than smartphones, but surely you have gotten used to seeing the Apple Watch on the wrists of most people around you. It is an incredible device, so incredible that it saves lives... Today we bring you the case of a Maine woman whose Apple Watch saved her from deadly cancer. Keep reading that we give you all the details ...
And it is that as you will know from the Apple Watch Series 4, the Apple Watch is capable of sending us notifications with warnings of atrial fibrillations. In this case, at the end of May, Kim Durkee, 67, began receiving multiple notifications on her Apple Watch warning that her heart was in atrial fibrillation.. At first he was not alarmed, since in the end it is "rare" to trust such a device and its notifications, but as the numbers were constant and high Kim decided to go to a doctor. If the clock gets confused I'll get rid of it, I'll trust the doctorscommented...
In the hospital came the surprise... After these incessant notifications of atrial fibrillation, the doctors asked him why he knew his situation, Kim told them that the watch had told him, and these confirmed the erratic heartbeat They determined it was a myxoma. A myxoma is a rare type of tumor that is known to be rapidly growing and can restrict the blood supply to the heart, something that can cause a stroke. Kim ended up going under the knife and doctors removed the tumor. Great news, we know that the Apple Watch is not a medical device, but at least it serves to keep us alert in situations of this type. Do not worry if one day it jumps by mistake, if the notifications are constant, ask your doctor.
