Early in the new year, Apple Watch detects abnormal heart rate and saves men's lives

Since you can easily measure your heart rate anytime, anywhere just by wearing it, since its launch in April 2015, you can

immediately detect heart rate abnormalities that lead to heart disease, etc., and the fall detection function is in danger of life. The Apple Watch has saved injured and life-threatening people by promptly sending help to a vulnerable wearer. As early as 2020, it is reported that there was another case that saved the life of the wearer.

A Brazilian man, Jorge Freire Jr., saved his life on the Apple Watch. According to Freire, it all started when the Apple Watch Series 5 he was wearing displayed a warning message that 'Your heart rate is over 140 BPM for more than 10 minutes.' When Freire, who noticed the abnormality, measured the heart rate again, the value was as high as 170 BPM, so he went home and rested to see if the heart rate returned to normal.

Even at rest, the heart rate did not drop from around 160 BPM, and there was a tendency for

tachycardia , so Freire went straight to the emergency room. When I showed the hospital staff the heart rate data measured by Apple Watch, he said that he was able to start the examination immediately. As a result of the examination, he was diagnosed as suffering from heart failure, which causes heart failure and stroke, and in the worst case, death.

Freire said she was diagnosed with no signs of a heart attack, but was prescribed medication to lower her high heart rate. Freire posted a photo of her heart rate on her Apple Watch on her Facebook account. Freire's heart rate is recorded in the photo, and it can be seen that it recorded a very high value from 15:00 to 18:00, but at 20:58, the heart rate has settled down to 101 BPM. I also understand.

Freire's tachycardia needs more detailed examination, but he said, 'I think it was due to stress and anxiety at the end of the year, and the effects of not taking the drug for high blood pressure correctly.' He says.

'Apple Watch saved me,' Freire said. 'Not a joke, Apple Watch can be the key to life and death. I highly recommend using the Apple Watch,' and saved his life. I praised my Apple Watch.

In addition, he revealed that he wrote a thank-you email to Apple CEO Tim Cook, summarizing his experience in an email.
