In 2022 , Kim Durkee , then 67 , of Solon, Maine , got an alert from her watch in the middle of the night that said she appeared to have an abnormal heart rhythm and suggested atrial fibrillation.
Durkee ignored the warning because she felt fine but her watch woke her up three nights in a row from midnight to 4 a.m. She decided to go into the emergency room in early June .
After an echocardiogram, the doctors also discovered that she had a myxoma tumor in her heart.
She underwent a five-hour open heart surgery and has since made a full recovery.
