    Important to know that the Apple Watch does not accurately uncover Atrial Flutter. This should be publicized more completely.

      Hi Hugh,

      The Apple Watch and Apple Heart Study were designed for detecting afib, not atrial flutter or other arrhythmias, though it did flag some other arrhythmias in a few people – that data was presented at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions last week.
