Apple Watch ECG Feature Helps Save Pregnant Woman and Her Baby

Rachel Manalo credits the device for detecting a life-threatening heart condition during her pregnancy.

Manalo experienced symptoms like a racing heartbeat and shortness of breath at 18 weeks pregnant.
The Apple Watch's ECG function recorded a heart rate of 150 bpm for over 40 minutes.
The device recommended she see a doctor, leading to a diagnosis of ventricular tachycardia.
Doctors stated the condition could have led to a heart attack if untreated.
Manalo successfully gave birth via cesarean section and has since undergone surgery for her condition.
