According to South China Morning Post, Gaston D'Aquino, whose life was saved by Apple Watch when was sitting at church his Apple Watch alerted him to his elevated heart rate, he have read similar stories before, so he went directly to a directly hospital:
“I told the doctor I don’t know why I’m here, but my watch tells me I have an elevated heart rate. He says, ‘Are you feeling anything?’ I said no, I feel fine, I’m feeling all right, nothing’s wrong.”
He then checked with electrocardiograph machine which indicated something was wrong, doctor tested and found that two of his three major coronary arteries were completely blocked and the other one 90% were blocked. Of course, this means that he would suffer potentially fatal heart attack. Since it has been discovered, D'Aquino agreed to have an angioplasty to prevent that from happening.
With the introduction of watchOS 4, Apple has added an ability for watches to detect an elevated heart rate. To enable the feature, open the Watch app on your iPhone, tap on My Watch tab, then tap Heart Rate, click on the Elevated Heart Rate, and select a BPM.
