By identifying patterns, users can understand how their heart responds to exercise, stress, or relaxation. Detection of Irregular Heart Rhythms Devices such as the Apple Watch or Fitbit Sense can detect irregular heart rhythms, including atrial fibrillation (AFib).
In healthy individuals occurs during exercising or strong emotions. Sinus bradycardia – sinus rhythm below 60 bpm is a sinus bradycardia. AFIB/AFL – atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter episodes. Sinus tachycardia – sinus rhythm above 100 bpm is a sinus tachycardia. Usually does not exceed 160 bpm.
. = My Comment by K EN G RAUER, MD ( 3/15 /2023 ): = I found today’s case highly instructive in highlighting a number of important aspects regarding the presentation and initial treatment of a patient who presents to the ED with new AFib. I focus my comment on a few additional aspects regarding new AFib.
Exercise can convert atrial flutter from 2:1 conduction to 1:1, apparently due to a combination of accelarated AV conduction and slowed flutter conduction. Only AFib was induced during EP study. It isn't entirely clear why our patient developed 1:1 conduction with atrial flutter.
