Misdiagnosis From a Smart Watch.

This article discusses a case of misdiagnosis from a smartwatch. A 60-year-old man received alerts on his wearable electronic device indicating that he may have atrial fibrillation. However, further testing revealed that he had a rare arrhythmia known as dual AV node non-reentrant tachycardia, or double fire. This condition can be misdiagnosed as supraventricular ectopy, ventricular ectopy, or atrial fibrillation. The article emphasizes the importance of careful physician review of rhythm strips to confirm the diagnosis, especially in cases where wearable devices are used. Treatment for double fire tachycardia typically involves radiofrequency ablation of the slow pathway. [Extracted from the article]
