    Let’s talk electrocardiograms: Apple uses the abbreviation ECG, whereas AP style (which CNET uses) calls it EKG, which derives from the German electrokardiogram. These terms mean the same thing. Read more about the new heart-tracking features in the Apple Watch here: cnet.co/2KZZ77O and watch our Apple Watch Series 4 fitness review: th-cam.com/video/8XMv9avMG4E/w-d-xo.html

      ​@@nicholasalonzi8268 Nooo, that's not correct!!! Please don't give medical advice if you aren't 100% sure of what you are talking about. I know that you're just trying to help, but unfortunately this kind of information spreads and induces false sense of panic, which can have multiple negative consequences, both physically and economically.
      The RR-Interval / spacing between the R-spikes (which I assume you are talking about) can be influenced by MANY factors and cannot be used to diagnose AFib. What you are describing is essentially just pulse. If what you said was true, you would only need to feel your own pulse to diagnose Afib. You wouldn't need an ecg.
      Atrial fibrillation can only be diagnosed safely by recording ecg-data on an actual ecg-sheet, so that you can precisely measure the intervals between de- and repolarisation, PQ, PP, PR, RR, etc. Without clear recorded electrical-activity, you cannot safely diagnose Afib.
      While it's still not enough to make a clear call, there are a few things which could be a possible indication of Afib if everything applies:
      - Your heart-rate exceeds 120BPM, even after resting for over 30min
      - Shortness of breath after minimal activity
      Regarding ECG:
      - There are NO P-waves
      - Rapid Old-to-Early R-wave transition
      - RR deviation of over 10% in 6 second reading
      - Clear absence of artifacts (--> which is why smartwatches are absolutely terrible at diagnosing Afib. Rate of error is 98% btw)
      - Anterior ST-depression
      - No clear baseline
      There are many more things to look out for when diagnosing AFib; but these are the baseline indicators which can easily be identified by an average person without medical or ECG knowdlege.

    I am a dental student and used a stethoscope to listen to my own heartbeat and noticed that a beat was missing. Using an Apple Watch it diagnosed me as having atrial fibrillation and then after my visit to the doctor, it diagnosed the same as well. I also got an echocardiogram, 12 lead EKG, and Holter Monitor

    As an old, retired cardiac electrophysiology (EP) nurse, who has been around EP since the advent of the first “event” monitors - a wearable box-like device that monitored and recorded a patient’s ECG outside of the doctor’s office - the Apple watches’ ECG capability is just incredible! Amazing job Apple! Coupling the ECG function with blood oxygen sensing capability is beyond awesome. Using these two tools, a trained medical person might be able to evaluate whether or not a heart rhythm problem was serious enough to cause a compromise in oxygenation function, which could result in stepping up interventions, such as obtaining immediate assistance, transporting a patient to the hospital and/or applying oxygen. Now if it only gave blood pressure or hemodynamics readings.... There’s always an opportunity for gee whiz medical utility upgrades in a coming version release. The ability of the public to access these advances in medical technologies is simply incredible! I can’t wait to see what’s next.

    I upgraded to the series 4 and have been using the feature. It will be interesting to share them with the doctor. I think if this can help make you alert to odd happenings, then it’s an investment in our health... no can we get the insurance to cover it at some point since the FDA has approved it...what’s interesting is that my mom has the series three and the other day it alerted her to a an elevated heart rate. She went to the doctor and found out she was experiencing A-fib. The doctor put her on meds and ordered a follow up with her cardiologist. Saved mom? Could be, but at least it alerted her. If your on the fence about it, I can tell you that this device is pretty amazing. If you have an elderly family member, might be a great gift for them. As for me, I’m convinced it was a good choice and so does mom mom now.

    I have had ventricular ectopics for decades. The general opinion is that they are benign and beta blockers can help. I have had a Withings ECG watch for a few years now as I want to know if I start with Atrial fibrillation, which can lead to a stroke. Although feeling my pulse might also give me the same information. I would recommend all elderly to check if their pulse becomes irregular as AF is treatable and a stroke is disastrous.

    after having spoken to some cardiologists, the problem here seems to be false positive diagnosis, which is possibly being significantly underestimated as its screening of predominately asymptomatic relatively younger population who buys these gadgets. this has a certain burden on available medical resources for patient's who are actually sick. Currently asymptomatic younger people with incidental occurrence of an irregular rhythm may not need treatment. I understand this information can be useful and maybe possibly life saving or changing for some, but at what frequency/prevalence, or cost effectiveness for our current health care infrastructure and architecture is it good to screen such large populations with a watch ( ''wow mine has an ekg'' ) which may not be able to deal with a flood of false positives?

When the doctor said she will be fine he was just trying to make her feel comfortable. I think she had to go trhough a type of heart sugery called radio or catheter ablation very soon after this interview. Or if she has not done it yet I hope at least she is on beta-blocker medicines by now.
