According to a study by the American College of Cardiology, May 29, 2024, for Apple Watch “the positive predictive value (PPV) for AF was 84%.”

This is what I read..” According to the Apple Heart Study, which involved an impressive 419,297 participants, only 34% of AFib detections by the Apple Watch were confirmed as true AFib upon further testing. This means that approximately two-thirds of these alerts were false alarms.”

When I think I’m in A-fib usually my watch reports “possible “ or “ inconclusive”. I use my Kardia mobile which will verify a-fib.
