Even healthy people have begun to fear sudden death, says the doctor
Smart watches|Smart watches can cause unnecessary worries for users. Identifying arrhythmias can also help, says cardiologist Tapio Aalto.
The abstract is made by artificial intelligence and checked by man.
Tapio Aalto from Mehiläinen, a specialist in cardiology, says that due to smart watches, the number of those seeking a doctor has increased.
According to Aalto, a healthy person usually does not have to worry about the announcements of the smart watch, but to stop constantly monitoring heart rate.
However, smart watches can help identify arrhythmias.
Still More people may seek medical attention to their smart watch, thinks a specialist in cardiology and internal medicine Tapio Aalto Bees.
Aalto says he will meet patients who are worried about his smart watch at his reception almost daily. Such patient encounters have become much more common in the last few years, says Aalto.
Smart watches can report to their users, for example, on additional beats or changes in the resting heart rate. From a cardiologist’s point of view, information is a double -barreled thing, as most of the clock’s findings are completely harmless.
According to Aalto, a good starting point is that a well -off and asymptomatic person does not need to worry about heart rate notifications.
« To a healthy person, I would tell you to stop watching your heart rate, » Aalto says.
Ordinary Smart watches measure the heart rate of their users, but some smart watches can also store a short ECG curve. According to Aalto, such watches are really useful in identifying arrhythmias.
If the heart disorders are random and seizure-type, it is entirely stuck to whether any seizure is accompanied by a conventional ECG measurement. With the always accompanying clock, the measurement can be turned on when the scene begins.
« If the financial situation allows and such symptoms occur, I would definitely recommend getting an ECG measuring smart watch, » Aalto estimates.
Such a smart watch can indicate, for example, atrial fibrillation. In these cases, according to Aalto, it is advisable to go to a doctor’s office, as some cases requiring treatment may be completely asymptomatic.
An intelligent device that measures a heart rate can also indicate arrhythmia. Even then, according to Aalto, it is advisable to ask your doctor for an assessment.
Purposefully For a mobile person, it may be useful to measure your heart rate during your workout. However, there is no benefit for continuous heart rate, Aalto emphasizes.
Heart rate monitoring can cause unnecessary concern. A well -off person usually does not have to react to heart rate variation in any way, even if the clock reports it. For example, according to Aalto, the reduction in heart rate variation is completely harmless.
« Then people google and horrible when it is said to increase the risk of sudden death. But this connection is only related to serious heart disease. »
Some trust their watch more than themselves. If the clock warns of stress, but you have not noticed one, you should rely on your own experience more than the clock’s review.
