Multichannel Electrocardiograms Obtained by a Smartwatch for the Diagnosis of ST-Segment Changes

Key Points

Question Can a smartwatch record multiple-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) and detect changes in the ST segment?

Findings In this case series including 100 participants, a smartwatch was able to record multichannel ECGs (leads I, II, III, V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, and V6) in agreement with standard ECGs. In addition, the amplitude of ST-segment changes noted with the smartwatch was comparable to those of standard ECGs.

Meaning The findings of this study suggest that use of ECGs recorded on smartwatches might be useful to obtain an earlier diagnosis of acute coronary syndromes; these data need to be further examined in patients with suspected myocardial infarction in whom false-positive and false-negative findings could be better characterized.
