Tim Cook responds to reader's Apple Watch ECG experience
I had a similar experience.
On June 15, I was sitting quietly, watching TV when I got an alert from my Apple Watch: Your heart rate rose above 120BPM while you seemed to be for 10 minutes starting at 11:35 pm.”
I felt perfectly fine, but I took my heart rate, and sure enough, it was 130.
I sent a report from my Health App to my doctor, and she called me he moment she read it, telling me to go to the hospital. Three hours later, I found that I was in congestive heart failure, and my heart was working at 30 percent capacity. The cardiologist said I would have been dead within months had I not come in.
Bottom line: Apple Watch saved my life.
