Medical researchers all over the world are constantly discovering new ways that Apple Watch can help rescue your life. A new study from Mayo Clinic researchers delves deeper into the Apple Watch's ECG features, with an emphasis on detecting heart disorders such as left ventricular dysfunction. This is an important study, as MyHealthyApple first reported because left ventricular dysfunction is frequently followed by congestive heart failure: According to the Mayo Clinic study, cardiac dysfunction is frequently undiagnosed because it is asymptomatic, which means that people who have it are unaware of it.

There were 2,454 patients from the U. S. and 11 other countries in the study. Between August 2021 and February 2022, these contestants sent over 125,000 ECGs from their Apple Watch. These results were then "scrubbed and processed by the researchers' proprietary AI algorithm." Apple Watch: How to see steps on apple watch including stairs climbed & Distance? According to MyHealthyApple, the findings show that "consumer-watch ECGs acquired in nonclinical environments can identify patients with cardiac dysfunction." According to the study, "the ability of smartwatches to aid with conducting remote digital health studies is still in its early stages." This week, the full study results and discoveries were released in Nature Medicine. The FDA is currently reviewing the Mayo Clinic's proprietary AI algorithm.
