Cheatsheet: Apple Watch metrics to assess and improve heart health

A handy reference guide to the metrics collected by your Apple Watch that can be used to assess and improve your heart health.

💀 Cardiovascular disease is THE leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for about 32% of all global deaths. It kills a staggering 18 million people per year.

💪 Obviously, if we want to live a long and healthy life, it makes sense to focus on the areas that are statistically most likely to kill us.

🔬 Fortunately, we live in a world where technologies empower us to analyse and improve our health in ways we would never have been able to even 20 years ago.

⌚️ One such technology is the Apple Watch, which tracks an INSANE number of metrics about your health every minute of every day.

🫀 These metrics can reveal a lot about your heart health, which helps you to reduce your risk of dying from the #1 killer worldwide.

📗 This cheatsheet is a simple guide to 17 of these metrics.

👍 For each of the metrics, you'll find:

• A description
• Why it's relevant to cardiovascular risk
• The risk zone, where statistics show you are at an elevated risk of cardiovascular issues
• The target range for healthy adults
• Things that will improve that metric
• Things that can worsen that metric

➕ PLUS 4 bonus metrics, which are not tracked automatically but are easy to record and enter into the Health app. These metrics can make a big difference.
