Eugenio Finardi had to postpone his concerts in Brindisi and Ostuni due to illness. The Milanese singer tells about it on his Facebook page. ” Today I was queuing at Linate for the boarding of flight AZ1643 for Brindisi when, suddenly, my heart began to beat madly, sweat poured out and my head was spinning. My iPhone was reporting Atrial Fibrillation. They took me in trouble to the Airport Medical Center and then in an Ambulance to the Monzino Cardiology Center, where they took care of me in an excellent and courteous manner. The drug cardioversion went well and I’m home now. Dazed but okay. Tomorrow visits and checks … I want to apologize to the public of Brindisi and Ostuni. I promise we’ll get back to you soon. The appointment is only postponed for a while! ”
Finardi explained in another post that he noticed the situation thanks to his Apple Watch: “Of course, I would have thought I was just hot and troubled by the stress of the airport and I would have got on the plane where I would have been sick. emergency and all the consequences … In reality it is the Apple watch that has the possibility of making an ECG that signals the Fibrillation in progress and allows to establish the exact moment of the onset of AF, useful information to then choose the mode of Cardioversion “. It is not the first case in which the Apple smartwatch has helped to save a life: here we have told another one, which has a young Roman as its protagonist.
Finardi, 69, is known for such hits as Alien e Rebel Music, but in a more or less evident way it marked half a century of Italian music. His latest studio album is titled, curiously, Fibrillante, and came out in 2014.
