By checking the values, his heart was at 170 beats per minute. Which is an extremely high value considering that he was just walking leisurely. After trying to get some rest at home, he went to the hospital as his heart rate stabilized at 160 bpm.
As soon as Freire arrived at the hospital and presented the Apple Watch data to the nurses. He was immediately attended to by a doctor who began treatment for tachycardia. This is an extremely serious heart condition that can often end in the worst possible way.

After sharing his story, Freire was extremely surprised to find that he had received a personal email from Tim Cook, Apple CEO. In the short message, Tim Cook thanked Freire for sharing his story. He says that these stories inspire Apple to continue to push the boundaries of its technologies.
