A teenager in Oklahoma is crediting the Apple Watch for alerting him to a serious heart condition that may have otherwise gone undetected. In a story that first appeared on KFOR News, 13-year-old Skylar Joslin was sitting in class when an alert about his heart rate appeared on his Apple Watch. To his credit, Joslin reacted immediately and quickly fired off a text to his mother. “I got a text message along with a screenshot of his heart rate that was 190,” Joslin’s mom said. A follow-up message from Skylar relayed that he suspected something was wrong given that he wasn’t engaged in any type of physical activity at the time. Ultimately, Joslin was diagnosed with Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT), a condition wherein electrical irregularities in the heart leads to an abnormally fast heart rate. Incidentally, SVT can arise abruptly, which is to say that Joslin’s Apple Watch allowed him to detect that something was awry immediately. While SVT isn’t typically a life-threatening condition, it is something that can get progressively worse with time if left untreated. Joslin eventually had a procedure called a cardiac ablation to treat the underlying condition. “If I wouldn’t have gotten his Apple Watch, I don’t know that I would’ve ever known,” Skyler’s mom said. “I mean it’s unknown how long it would’ve been going on or how long it would’ve really taken.” While the Apple Watch in this case arguably didn’t save Joslin’s life — again, SVT isn’t typically life-threatening — we’ve seen no shortage of stories involving the Apple Watch doing just that. Earlier this year, for example, we highlighted how an Apple Watch owner named Jorge Freire Jr. went to the hospital after his Apple Watch informed him of an unusually high heart rate. Freire Jr. was ultimately diagnosed with a type of arrhythmia that can result in a stroke or heart failure if left untreated. All told, there’s a reason why some insurance companies subsidize the cost of an Apple Watch for members — the device quite literally helps save lives.
SVT is not a life-threatening condition... My daughter has it since she was 1. She is not even taking medication now. SVT comes with episodes of rapid heart rate. Hers can go up to 180-190 bpm, lasting for a few seconds, and around 20-30 episodes throughout the day. Some cases could last longer. It is not a heart attack...
可能有些人反应迟钝吧。我有阵子心跳很快也是果表发现的。我自己没觉得有什么异常
国内这个功能不能用
这样啊。谢谢科普。这么看有些人还是需要带表的。
