Prior studies have evaluated the accuracy of the Apple Watch single-lead ECG for the detection of atrial fibrillation and other arrhythmias. However, no study to date has analyzed the Apple Watch ECG morphology and interval characteristics compared to a standard 12 lead ECG in a diverse population (i.e. atrial arrhythmias and paced rhythms). These characteristics are important in assessing patients placed on pro-arrhythmic medications and for physician overreads during remote monitoring for arrhythmias. In this study we analyzed the characteristics of single-lead ECGs collected by an Apple Watch compared to a clinical 12 lead ECG.

Performance And Accuracy Of A Smart Watch Single-lead ECG: A Pilot Study

The Foundation in Cardiology Practice program will offer a comprehensive review of the fundamentals and most important changes in cardiovascular medicine. Program topics will provide details to ensure patients receive the highest, most up-to-date quality of care and achieve the best possible outcomes when returning to your practice.   Electronic posters offer a great opportunity to connect with a look into the future and learn from colleagues to keep the best interest of the patient in mind when providing care.
