Smart watch recording of ventricular tachycardia: case study

We report the case of a patient presenting to the emergency department complaining of palpitations and syncope. Standard investigations were unremarkable. However, an electrocardiogram recorded through his Apple Watch ® indicated ventricular tachycardia. This case highlights the importance of proactively requesting such information from patients, though normal recordings may not preclude cardiac arrhythmia.
