Mum claims Apple Watch saved her life after heart 'flatlined for 19 seconds'

A mum claims her Apple Watch saved her life after it alerted her to a heart condition she was unaware of.

Elaine Thompson, 59, took a trip to the doctors after her smart device flagged her of an irregular heart rhythm. As a result, she was given a heart monitor for a week which flagged that she flatlined for 19 seconds in her sleep.

She was then rushed to hospital before being diagnosed with a heart condition. Now, she has a pacemaker and has credited her Apple Watch with first making her aware of the issue.
