Apple Watch Could Check for Heart Attack Symptoms, Research Suggests

If you mean marketing as in that made it way more popular than the Galaxy watch sure. Or it could just be a better watch? 🤷‍♂️🤣

I mean, as per the posters question, that is Apples superior marketing is likely why they have only heard Apple ECG related stories.

Some doctors forget that they are only practicing medicine their entire
Career. They have a lot of training but there is still far more they don’t know about the human body than they do. They are also practicing “Medicine” and are trained by a system created by the families that owned the two largest pharmaceutical 100 years ago. It’s the reason drugs are the primary focus instead of nutrition.

Yeah. Steve Jobs believed that too until even modern medicine could extend his life but couldn’t reverse his disease.

Possibilities like this make me feel more positive about our future.

I think I would have a heart attack if my Apple Watch told me I was about to have one

Can someone explain why both the AW and the Galaxy Watches have ECG, but so far I've only seen stories about the Apple Watch alarming users about potential health issues? What is different between the two, is the AW's sensor more capable?

apple pays better 😁

Only problem is a lot of myocardial infarcts are Non ST Elevation (NSTEMI) which show no ecg/ekg changes and are detected by high cardiac enzymes only so this function could cause false reassurance to patients with chest pain - like the one I had......

EXACTLY what I was going to post!

I had an NSTEMI heart attack in 2019, and the 12-lead ekg in the ER couldn’t detect a damn thing. I had 100% blockage in a coronary artery. Blood protein tests (of course) didn’t indicate anything, because it takes 6-12 hours AFTER the event to detect.

Very cool! It is amazing what the Apple Watch can do.

Good to see Apple watch focusing more on health!

That should come in handy , especially in the immediate future….

The AW is not a medical device. Never trust your health to a consumer grade toy watch.

Trust your health to medical professionals whose errors kill hundreds of thousands a year. Do it the right way.
