How accurate are Apple Watches at detecting atrial fibrillation (AFib)? In this video, I explain the capabilities and limitations of smartwatches like the Apple Watch when it comes to monitoring heart rhythms. While devices like the Apple Watch can be helpful screening tools, they are not replacements for medical-grade ECGs or expert interpretation by a cardiologist or cardiac electrophysiologist.

I also discuss other options for diagnosing AFib, including Holter monitors, event monitors, and loop recorders for patients with infrequent symptoms.

Learn how to make sense of smartwatch alerts, when to seek professional evaluation, and why proper diagnosis is crucial for your heart health.

Key Points Discussed:

How Apple Watches detect possible AFib

Differences between heart rate monitoring and true rhythm detection

Accuracy of smartwatches compared to clinical EKGs

Why interpretation by a specialist matters

The role of heart rhythm monitors and loop recorders

When to use smartwatches, short-term monitors, or implantable devices

Common pitfalls with relying solely on smartwatch data
