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.

Tailoring treatments for dangerous abnormal heart rhythmsSwansea University | Professor Christopher George
BHF Professor Alan Williams studies abnormal heart rhythms, or arrhythmias, which can be fatal. Although we understand some of the processes involved in arrhythmias, the efficacy of current treatments are variable, and the causes of abnorma...

Could exercise help to prevent sudden death in heart failure?University of Leeds | Dr Al Benson
Dr Al Benson and his team at the University of Leeds are studying whether exercise could help to reduce the damage to the heart that occurs during heart failure, where the heart cannot pump blood around the body effectively. When a person...
