Technology can help us lead a healthier life and that couldnt be more true for one North Texas woman who credits her Apple Watch with detecting a potentially serious heart condition.At 75-years-old, Liz Turner keeps up with the latest moves and the latest tech trends. Man Arrested After Shooting at Dallas Officers: Police She got her first Apple Watch after watching her grandchildren use theirs.I got one because my grandchildren had one, Turner said. Cheaters Host Clark Gable III Found Dead in Dallas Home While tracking calories burned, Turner also tracks her heart rate. During a recent workout, she felt something wasnt right.You dont feel your heart beating right now, do you No. I felt my heart coming out of my chest and it felt like it was just racing, she said. Man Accused of Setting Customer on Fire During Store Robbery Her watched tracked her heart rate at 181. Her normal max heart rate is 140.It would have blown out of my chest if I had gone any further, she said.To make sure it wasnt a fluke, she said she used Apples ECG app each time she felt her heart beating irregularly over the next few days.Electrodes inside the Apple Watch Series 4 can record a hearts rhythm and generate a electrocardiogram waveform in 30 seconds.She uploaded the data to her phone and then to her doctor, who sent her to Baylor Heart Hospital in Dallas.The next step that we would do is say, OK, why dont you wear a monitor and capture what that rhythm strip is, but because her newer watch already had that feature put in, we were able to get the diagnosis that much faster, said Dr. Praveen Rao, an electrophysiologist at Baylor Scott & White HospitalRao said Turner suffered from atrial fibrillation, an irregular rhythm of the heart and the leading cause of blood clots and stroke, if its not caught early.Rao said the latest generation of wearables is helping doctors catch it early and more often.I think the prevalence is really growing. Now that we are recognizing it, we are capturing things that we didnt know of before, he said.According to Apple, the ECG app and irregular rhythm notification feature were introduced on Apple Watch last year, which help users identify signs of A-Fib.Apple continues to receive letters from customers who explain Apple Watch has helped them identify heart conditions and seek medical treatment.Turner chose to undergo a two-hour long ablation procedure to isolate parts of the heart so that it stays in a normal rhythm.One week later, she was back on her feet and back at the gym.There are several devices on the market with similar heart monitoring technology as the Apple Watch.However, doctors said you should always seek medical attention if you feel an irregular heartbeat.A-Fib tends to affect older adults but doctors said more younger people can go into A-Fib for lack of sleep, excess caffeine or excess alcohol.Photo Credit: NBC 5 News

Man Accused of Setting Customer on Fire During Store Robbery Drivers in both incidents are charged with driving under the influence.No officers or fire personnel were injured.Were fortunate we didnt have an officer killed out there, said Rowlett Police Sgt. Dean Poos.Friday, Poos said the department made a decision.He said scene commanders working crashes now have the option to shut down the entire freeway for their own safety, regardless of how serious the crash.Thats something thats not taken lightly. When you shut down an interstate, you obviously cause a lot of backup and a lot of problems, Poos said.But with so many lives on the line, he said convenience takes a backseat to safety.Their inconvenience is not worth our lives and that may sound trite and everything, but thats a fact, he said.Poos said narrow emergency lanes, a 65 mph speed limit, alcohol and inattention put officers at risk on the bridge. He reminded drivers to slow down and move over for first responders, like state law requires.Photo Credit: NBC 5 News
