EKG means electrocardiogram and it can be called both EKG and ECG.<\/p>\n

Such a device checks our heart conditions in order to help doctors to choose the proper treatment for a particular patient by controlling his heart activity.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why Apple Watch can become an important device if it will be integrated with an EKG monitor as Apple Watch user can track his heart without depending on other external accessories. On the other side doctors will have a cloud shared information about their patient health with more helpful and effective results in the diagnosis process.<\/p>\n

How does an EKG Machine work?<\/span><\/h2>\n

An EKG is already a portable device even if not so small as an Apple Watch. It consista of a small box with the machine inside connected with some electrodes.\u00a0 The impulses picked up by the electrodes are recorded in pairs, and each pair is known as a lead. Each lead views the heart from a different angle and wearable EKG machines monitor limited heart activities such as heart murmur and arrhythmia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

#1 case study: Apple Watch can save your life<\/span><\/h2>\n

James Green\u2019s story demonstrates that our Apple Watch is not only a fashionable accessory that we wear at our wrist with our favorite Apple Watch leather bands but it can really save our life. Apple Watch integrated heart sensors made just this by sending a notification to James about an abnormally high heart rate. He was using HeartWatch app to monitor his heart and after that notification he went as soon as possible to the hospital for a diagnosis. The result? He had a pulmonary embolism, a serious health problem that happen when a blood clot is present in the lungs. Apple Watch app didn\u2019t make a diagnosis, of course but its sensors alerted James that something wrong was occurring in his body as irregular heartbeat is one of the few symptoms of a pulmonary embolism.<\/p>\n

#2 case study: Apple Watch can save your life<\/span><\/h2>\n

Scott Killian is a 50 years old man who made all the tests about his heart and his health to be sure to be healthy. And his tests were good without any concerns so that he went home without any trouble. He used his Apple Watch to track his sleep and to monitor his health during the night-time. His Apple Watch alerted him about an elevated heart rate during his sleep due probably to some mild indigestion. At the hospital the analyses made with an EKG machine were normal and it was only after a blood test that doctors found out an elevated enzyme that would have caused a heart attack.<\/p>\n
