Doctor credits Apple Watch for saving his life

But in this case, I'm sure I would say it was the Apple Watch that saved this person's life. Truth be told, he could have done the same with any at-home portable ECG device. To be honest, I would say that fact that he was an anesthesiologist and his medical knowledge probably saved his life more than anything else.
Anyway, it is still a positive story and I'm happy he is on the road to good health...and no doubt the Apple Watch is an incredible device whose application far exceeds that of just setting alarms and knowing the time.
To summarise, ECG is mostly only useful when done during symptom happens. This seems to be pretty common knowledge with doctors I have spoken to. Often than not, ECG done during normal times usually do not pick up many of the heart problems/diseases that ain't having persistent/constant symptom. -
