Apple has updated its Apple Watch ECG app with new features and support for more heart conditions. The update, which is available now, includes a new irregular rhythm notification feature that can alert users if their heart rate is irregular and may indicate atrial fibrillation (AFib). The update also adds support for atrial flutter, a type of irregular heart rhythm that can lead to more serious heart conditions. In addition, the update includes a new interface that makes it easier to use the ECG app and view your ECG results..
The Apple Watch ECG app was first introduced in 2018 and has been used by millions of people to detect AFib. AFib is a serious heart condition that can lead to stroke, heart failure, and other complications. The Apple Watch ECG app can detect AFib with 99% accuracy, and it has been credited with helping to save lives..
The new irregular rhythm notification feature is designed to catch AFib and other irregular heart rhythms early on, when they may be easier to treat. The feature uses the Apple Watch’s heart rate sensor to monitor your heart rate for irregularities. If an irregular rhythm is detected, the Apple Watch will send you a notification. You can then use the ECG app to record an ECG and share it with your doctor for further evaluation..
