Donald, an anesthetist doctor, practiced exerciseregularly and, in one of his During his elliptical training, he felt unusually tired and short of breath for the type of exercise he was doing, so he decided to use the ECG (electrocardiogram) function of the Apple Watch to understand what was happening at that moment.
Donald noticed that the graph of the electrocardiogram was altered, particularly in the ST segment, strong> which could be an early sign for detecting myocardial infarction.
He decided to rest and the situation normalized, but still, he chose to consult a colleague< /strong> who, performing another electrocardiogram and examsadditional, detected ischemia (lack of oxygenation of a tissue), referring you to a cardiologist.
It was then that, after a secondevaluation by a cardiologist, a coronary artery diseaserequiring surgicalintervention for a bypass of 5 vessels and replacement of the aortic valve.

It was then that he remembered to ask Siri for help so it would be called assistance, but in fact the featurefall detection of Apple Watchhad already been automatically activated without him realizing it and the alert to firefighters had already been made.

After putting the children to sleep, hesat on the sofa and heard analert coming from < a href="https://forallphones.pt/collections/apple-watch">Apple Watchinforming you that your heartbeatheartbeat strong> were above 120 bpm.
The warning was ignored by Heather, as she did not feel her heart racing or anything out of the normal, despite heart rate continues to increase and is unstable throughout the night.
