亚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岁的奥斯汀·哈迪森收到了一个圣诞礼物，这个三星的小玩意儿诊断出他患有一种罕见的心脏病。

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.

亚利桑那州ABC 15频道报道说，今年夏天早些时候，奥斯汀在看电视时感到头昏眼花，同时他注意到手表的心率监视器已经达到每分钟219次。

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

考虑到即将开学，奥斯汀的妈妈林赛·哈迪森最初把原因归咎于焦虑。

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.

但是美国心脏协会说，正常的静息心率在60到100之间，而正常的最大心率约为220减去你的年龄——这是在进行剧烈运动的时候。

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

于是林赛带奥斯汀去凤凰城儿童医院做了一次检查，他被诊断出患有沃尔夫-帕金森-怀特综合征。

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.

根据梅奥诊所的说法，这意味着奥斯汀出生时心脏的上下腔之间有一条额外的电通路，这可能导致婴儿和儿童的心跳加快，也被称为心动过速。

“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.

“我们从来没有意识到这一点，”林赛说。梅奥诊所称，患有这种疾病的儿童可能无法进行高强度运动。

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.

随着可穿戴技术越来越先进，价格也越来越便宜，其他智能手表拯救生命的故事也层出不穷。悉尼24岁的迈克·洛夫(MikeLove)，有一块提醒他睡觉时自己的心率会升高的苹果手表。医生最终在他的心脏上发现了一个以前未被诊断出的洞，还有一个肺部疾病。

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

奥斯汀穿的似乎是Gear S3 Frontier，零售价为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.

奥斯汀想要的礼物——“我的一帮朋友开始买[智能手表]，而且看起来很酷”——成了他的救星。
