Apple Watch 4 w/ ECG for a-fib -- A question [View all]
I'm reading with great interest about the Apple Watch Series 4 and its ability to do ECG readings on the heart. A lot of information at the article linked below...
... but my main question is in regards to something at the very end of the article that says: "These features are not recommended to those under 22 or to anyone who already knows they have atrial fibrillation."
Does anyone know why that would be? Why shouldn't someone with afib use these features of the watch?
