Your watch could spot a dangerous heart flutter before you do

NCT ID NCT05686330

Summary

This study tested whether wearing an Apple Watch could help find hidden cases of atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) in older adults at high risk for stroke. 436 participants were randomly assigned to either wear the watch for daily heart monitoring or to receive their usual medical care. The goal was to see if the watch could detect the condition earlier than standard methods.
