Could your smart watch alert you to risk of sudden death?
Researchers have developed a new algorithm that could, in future, enable wearable technology to warn those at risk of dangerous heart rhythm changes. The research, which was presented at the British Cardiovascular Society Conference, found that the algorithm could use ECGs to accurately identify people at highest risk of being hospitalised or dying due to arrhythmias.

Why are endurance athletes more prone to abnormal heart rhythms?University of Manchester | Professor Mark R Boyett
Our heart requires an electrical signal to beat correctly. When this signal breaks down, disturbances in the heart beat called arrhythmias occur. Arrhythmias can cause serious health problems and even sudden death. We know that athletes who...
