Assessment of Apple Watch Series 6 pulse oximetry and electrocardiograms in a pediatric population
Fig 6
Simultaneously obtained AW6 and 12-lead ECGs of a patient with WPW. Pre-excitation is evident on both the (A) AW6 tracing and (B) 12-lead ECG. (C) AW6 tracing of a 6-year-old female. The AW6 automated interpretation incorrectly labeled this tracing as atrial fibrillation. Physician over-read was sinus rhythm with PACs. (D) AW6 tracing of a 2-year-old female capturing frequent PVCs. The AW6 automated reading was “inconclusive due to poor recording). This tracing also demonstrates how movement artifact appears on AW6 tracings. Additionally, this was the only time a tracing less than 30 seconds saved during the study. Typically, if contact was broken before 30 seconds, the tracing would not save and the 30 second process needed to be started over.
