The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
But why wait for somebody to have a heart attack, and then send 'em home with one, if you can put them on people who are at risk of heart attack, or even before then they become at acute risk of heart attack, right? I mean, like if we can start monitoring people early on, figure out what their normal rhythm is, be attentive when that rhythm starts to falter, we can catch things really, really early.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.

Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
Well, so instead of going to your doctor once a year for an annual checkup, this thing's monitoring my body 1,000 times a second for vibration. It can hear how I speak, how I cough, it's looking at my movements, how I sleep during the day, how I move. But most importantly, for this device, it's measuring my heart in many different ways. It's actually an FDA approved EKG, this is something that you have to put stickers all over your body, the doctor used to measure it, sine waves and whatever, you can now do it with your wristwatch, though that's not FDA approved. This one is the real deal. Doctors use this information to diagnose patients.
