Abstract

Background: The Apple Watch (AW) can record single-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) and has been investigated for arrhythmia detection. In this study we evaluated its accuracy in identifying the origin of premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) vs. standard 12-lead ECGs.

Methods and results: A total of 7 patients with PVCs were assessed using both 12-lead and AW ECG recordings. The QRS polarity observed in the AW recordings was consistent with that of the standard ECGs in most cases, demonstrating its utility in estimating three distinct PVC origins.

Conclusions: The AW holds potential as an auxiliary tool for PVC origin assessment, contributing to arrhythmia management in clinical practice.

Apple Watch心电图对识别室性早搏起源的作用。

背景：Apple Watch （AW）可以记录单导联心电图（ECGs），并已被研究用于心律失常检测。在这项研究中，我们评估了其识别室性早搏起源的准确性与标准12导联心电图的对比。方法与结果：对7例室性早搏患者采用12导联心电图和AW心电图进行评估。在大多数情况下，在AW记录中观察到的QRS极性与标准心电图一致，证明了其在估计三种不同PVC起源方面的实用性。结论：超声心动图有潜力作为一种辅助工具来评估PVC起源，有助于心律失常的临床治疗。
