A Case Report published in the International Journal of Arrhythmia describes how a 51-year-old woman recorded her ECG with an Apple watch during a severe episode of palpitations. The ECG helped doctors in diagnosis of tachycardia.
]. We present a case of ventricular tachycardia detected via a wearable device in an otherwise fit and well person. We discuss the growing use of digital health devices, their implications for cardiovascular health, and how patient acquired data can transform the way that we manage patients with remote or infrequent symptoms.A 51-year-old woman was referred to the cardiology clinic for an assessment of symptoms of intermittent exertional shortness of breath and palpitation.
However, the patient started to get increasing episodes of palpitation associated with giddiness and during a particularly severe episode recorded an ECG using her husband’s Apple Watch . This was forwarded to the patient’s cardiologist, who suspected a broad complex tachycardia and organised an urgent follow-up appointment. The patient reported their symptoms now occur on minimal exertion and their heart rate reaches 200 bpm. There was no history of syncope.
