It is not the first time that we read a news about the Apple Watch that saves a life or that is involved in the vital help of a person. In this case it is a new episode in which Apple's watch was key to detecting heart disease in a retired Missouri patient.
In this case Patti Sohn herself, who is a retired nurse who owns a brand new Apple Watch, shared her story with the KMOV news channel in St. Louis. Sohn, she was really grateful for the gift her son gave her for Mother's Day, an Apple Watch.
A low heart rate warning took her to the hospital and they put a pacemaker on her
A notice in the form of a notification from the Apple Watch itself alerted Sohn to a fairly low heart rate, below 40 ppm that was not good and not normal. As well indicated in 9To5Mac finally everything was in a key notification so that he went to the hospital and there they decided to place a pacemaker. The operation was a success and this becomes another beautiful story with a happy ending for a person who, possibly if he had not been wearing the watch, would have taken longer to realize the problem and who knows if that would have been fatal.
Of course, with regular check-ups at the family doctor, these types of heart abnormalities can also be detected, but having constant monitoring of our heart with a device such as the Apple Watch can also be key to detecting them. In this sense having ECG, fall detection or abnormal heart rhythm functions can be very helpful as we have already seen on this occasion and in many similar ones.
