Apple Watch Alert Leads Doctor to Timely Heart Valve Surgery and Recovery
An Apple Watch alert helped senior doctor Satish Sachdeva detect an irregular heartbeat during a flight, leading to the diagnosis of a mitral valve condition that had gone unnoticed despite routine check-ups. After taking an ECG on the watch, he sought medical care in Bengaluru, where doctors recommended valve replacement surgery at Medanta. Post-surgery, the watch continues to assist in monitoring his heart rate, aiding recovery through timely alerts and lifestyle adjustments.
