Results from the company’s sponsored Apple Heart Study confirm that the device accurately detects Afib the majority of the time.
and presented at the American College of Cardiology’s annual meeting, involved 419,297 adults who agreed to wear the Apple Watch and download the Heart Study iPhone app. Participants who received irregular pulse watch notifications consulted with a study physician and then wore an ECG patch to confirm the diagnosis.
“AFib can come and go, particularly early on in the course of the disease. It’s not surprising for it to go undetected in subsequent ECG patch monitoring,” Mintu Turakhia, M.D., an associate professor of cardiovascular medicine at Stanford and the principal investigator presenting the study data at the American College of Cardiology’s annual meeting, said in. “So while only 34 percent of people were still having AFib on the ambulatory ECG, that doesn’t mean that 66 percent didn’t have AFib.
Those small numbers are not surprising given the demographics of the study, says Ira Galin, M.D., a cardiologist at Danbury Hospital and Norwalk Hospital who attended the Apple Watch session at the ACC annual meeting. Galin does find the device promising and says it could be useful for extreme endurance athletes who tend to have higher rates of Afib and may otherwise go undiagnosed.Still, he cautioned, wearable devices obviously aren’t intended to be a substitute for medical monitoring. But they may help people catch heart rhythm abnormalities, so they can work with their doctor to determine whether there is anything to worry about—and if so, what to do about it.
