- Abstract
Smartwatch allows easy detection of arrhythmia. Such an approach is widely used for detecting atrial fibrillation. However, there has been no consensus on the diagnostic power of smartwatch‐detected supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). We reported three patients of SVT presenting with infrequent palpitations. Their SVTs were not documented with single‐lead or standard ECG in hospital before, but only recorded by the single‐lead ECG on smartwatches. Electrophysiological studies confirmed the mechanisms of these SVTs and led to successful catheter ablations. In conclusion, in patients with recurrent symptomatic tachycardia and a smartwatch‐detected SVT, an electrophysiological study is indicated rather than to wait for a standard ECG for clinical decision. This approach might prevent the delay for successful treatment.
