What is ECG?

ECG is the English abbreviation of electrocardiogram. It is a biological "gauge" that helps you monitor your heart rate and any abnormal changes. New update on Samsung Health app and Galaxy watch line allows you to measure your heart rate right on the device without adding any other auxiliary equipment. Thanks to that, you not only know your heart rate, but also recognize the first signs of AF.

Atrial fibrillation is an abnormal heart rhythm caused by abnormalities in the two upper chambers of the heart. This condition is caused by uneven transmission of electrical signals to the heart, signaling a health problem that needs to be treated. The assisted ECG in the Samsung Galaxy Watch can help you recognize this symptom and promptly contact a specialist.

In addition, the ability to measure ECG comfortably at home during the COVID-19 pandemic is really a great addition of Samsung people to users. This way, you can monitor the health of yourself and your family right at home.
