亞利桑那州一名青少年的智能手表救了他的命

The Samsung gadget that 13-year-old Austin Hardison received last year as a Christmas gift led to the diagnosis of a rare heart condition.

去年，13歲的奧斯汀·哈迪森收到了一個圣誕禮物，這個三星的小玩意兒診斷出他患有一種罕見的心臟病。

ABC 15 Arizona reports that when Austin was watching TV earlier this summer, he felt light-headed and noticed his watch’s heart-rate monitor had ticked up to 219 beats per minute.

亞利桑那州ABC 15頻道報道說，今年夏天早些時候，奧斯汀在看電視時感到頭昏眼花，同時他注意到手表的心率監(jiān)視器已經(jīng)達到每分鐘219次。

Given the imminent start of the school year, Austin’s mom, Lynsey Hardison, initially chalked it up to anxiety.

考慮到即將開學，奧斯汀的媽媽林賽·哈迪森最初把原因歸咎于焦慮。

But the American Heart Association says a normal resting heart rate is between 60 and 100, while a normal maximum heart rate is about 220 minus your age — and that’s when engaging in strenuous physical activity.

但是美國心臟協(xié)會說，正常的靜息心率在60到100之間，而正常的最大心率約為220減去你的年齡——這是在進行劇烈運動的時候。

So Lynsey took Austin to Phoenix Children’s Hospital for a checkup — and he left with a diagnosis of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.

于是林賽帶奧斯汀去鳳凰城兒童醫(yī)院做了一次檢查，他被診斷出患有沃爾夫-帕金森-懷特綜合征。

According to the Mayo Clinic, that means Austin was born with an extra electrical pathway between his heart’s upper and lower chambers, which can result in a rapid heartbeat, also known as tachycardia, in infants and children.

根據(jù)梅奧診所的說法，這意味著奧斯汀出生時心臟的上下腔之間有一條額外的電通路，這可能導致嬰兒和兒童的心跳加快，也被稱為心動過速。

“We were just never aware of it,” Lynsey says. Children with the condition may not be able to play high-impact sports, according to the Mayo Clinic.

“我們從來沒有意識到這一點，”林賽說。梅奧診所稱，患有這種疾病的兒童可能無法進行高強度運動。

Other tales of smartwatches saving lives have cropped up as wearable technology becomes more advanced and more affordable. Mike Love, a 24-year-old in Sydney, had an Apple watch that alerted him to his own elevated heart rate while sleeping. A doctor ended up finding a previously undiagnosed hole in Love’s heart, as well as a lung condition.

隨著可穿戴技術越來越先進，價格也越來越便宜，其他智能手表拯救生命的故事也層出不窮。悉尼24歲的邁克·洛夫(MikeLove)，有一塊提醒他睡覺時自己的心率會升高的蘋果手表。醫(yī)生最終在他的心臟上發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個以前未被診斷出的洞，還有一個肺部疾病。

Austin wears what appears to be the Gear S3 Frontier, which retails for $249.99.

奧斯汀穿的似乎是Gear S3 Frontier，零售價為249.99美元。

The present Austin wanted — because “a bunch of my friends started getting [smartwatches] and they look really cool” — may have been a lifesaver.

奧斯汀想要的禮物——“我的一幫朋友開始買[智能手表]，而且看起來很酷”——成了他的救星。
