Measures electrical activity of your heart
Detects irregular heart rhythms
Identifies potential atrial fibrillation (AFib)
Records 30-second readings
Results saved in Samsung Health Monitor app

Regional Availability

ECG requires regulatory approval. Available in:

United States (FDA approved)
European Union (CE marked)
United Kingdom, Canada, South Korea

Review results

Understanding Results

Result	Meaning
Sinus Rhythm	Normal heart rhythm detected
AFib	Irregular rhythm—consult doctor immediately
Inconclusive	Unable to determine—retake when rested
Poor Recording	Improper technique—retry with firm contact

Best Practices

Sit quietly in relaxed position
Rest arm on table or armrest
Don't move during measurement
Ensure watch worn snugly
Take reading at rest, not during activity

Limitations

ECG is a screening tool, not diagnostic:

Cannot detect heart attacks
Cannot detect blood clots
Single-lead ECG (medical is 12-lead)
Consult doctor for any concerning results

Not suitable for:

Pacemaker users
Under age 22 (typically)
Anyone with implanted medical devices

ECG vs Continuous Heart Rate

Feature	ECG	Continuous HR
Activation	Manual, on-demand	Automatic, 24/7
Duration	30-second reading	Ongoing monitoring
Detects	AFib patterns	High/low HR trends
Technology	Electrical signals	Optical sensor

Both features work together for comprehensive heart health tracking.

When to Take ECG

Use ECG when feeling palpitations or irregular heartbeat, or as a weekly baseline check. It's a valuable screening tool but always consult a doctor for medical concerns.
