“…The faster recording speed hampers the assessment of small and shallow deflections such as the P wave. This observation in particular of the P -wave has also been reported from other studies with other wireless devices [ [16] , [17] , [18] ].…”

“…Inconsistent availability of device specific dashboards due to University firewalls may inhibit the ability to assess data in real-time. Lastly, none of these technologies were assessed in this study against their gold-standard counterparts, so no assessment of data accuracy or reliability can be made, though previous studies in the literature have supported the use of both KM and AW6 in the pediatric population 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 .…”

“…In the current study, we included only adult participants with sinus rhythm to validate SW-ECG precordial leads. However, in the other studies the focus was either on pediatric patients, or on the accuracy of SWs to capture cardiac arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation in adults, the feasibility of obtaining the Einthoven leads I-III, and the ability of handheld devices to detect ST-segment changes [ 6 , 7 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ].…”

“…During recent years, different research groups have tried to assess the feasibility and reliability of SWs to obtain ECG recordings. However, these attempts were mostly limited to studies that assessed qualitatively and quantitatively the similarity between the ECG recordings of the SWs and standard ECGs in the classical Einthoven ECG leads I-III or focused on the accuracy of the SW-ECG in pediatric patients with and without congenital heart disease [ 10 , 11 , 12 ]. A standard 12-lead ECG gives more information than lead I-III by recording the precordial leads V1–V6, and the Goldberger leads (aVR, aVL, and aVF) [ 13 ].…”

The Apple Watch is capable of recording single-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs). To incorporate such devices in routine medical care, the reliability of such devices to obtain precordial leads needs to be validated. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility and reliability of a smartwatch (SW) to obtain precordial leads compared to standard ECGs. We included 100 participants (62 male, aged 62.8 ± 13.1 years) with sinus rhythm and recorded a standard 12-lead ECG and the precordial leads with the Apple Watch. The ECGs were quantitively compared. A total of 98 patients were able to record precordial leads without assistance. A strong correlation was observed between the amplitude of the standard and SW-ECGs’ waves, in terms of P waves, QRS-complexes, and T waves (all p-values < 0.01). A significant correlation was observed between the two methods regarding the duration of the ECG waves (all p-values < 0.01). Assessment of polarity showed a significant and a strong concordance between the ECGs’ waves in all six leads (91–100%, all p-values < 0.001). In conclusion, 98% of patients were able to record precordial leads using a SW without assistance. The SW is feasible and reliable for obtaining valid precordial-lead ECG recordings as a validated alternative to a standard ECG.
