Available on compatible smartwatches, the ECG app allows you to record your heart rhythm and check for signs of atrial fibrillation (AFib) or normal sinus rhythm.

WHAT IS ELECTROCARDIOGRAM (ECG)

An ECG is a recording of the electrical activity of your heart. Doctors use ECGs to help identify potential heart rhythm abnormalities.

HOW IT WORKS

The ECG app uses sensors on your compatible smartwatch to record the electrical signals that control how your heart beats. This recording is known as an electrocardiogram, or ECG. The ECG app analyzes the recording to get your heart rate and detect signs of an irregular heart rhythm called AFib. AFib rhythms occur when the upper and lower chambers of your heart are not beating in sync.

ECG APP SETUP

The ECG app can only be used on compatible smartwatches that have been set up with your Garmin Connect™ account. The ECG app requires the use of the Garmin Connect app, which is available to download from the app store on your smartphone. For information about the required Garmin watch and Garmin Connect app software versions, see the full instructions for use. The ECG app is only available in select regions.

To use the ECG app on your Garmin watch, you must first complete the setup in the Garmin Connect app.

1. Open the Garmin Connect app on your smartphone.
2. Select the device image at the top of the screen.
   Note: If you have more than one device paired with the Garmin Connect app, select the ••• menu, select Garmin Devices, and then select the device.
3. Select Finish Setup > Set Up ECG App.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
5. After the setup is complete, you can record an ECG by using the ECG app on your Garmin watch.

 RESULTS YOU MIGHT SEE

After you’ve taken an ECG, the ECG app analyzes the recording and produces one of several results. Please note that if you aren’t feeling well or are experiencing any symptoms, you should speak to your doctor regardless of the ECG app result.

THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY AFIB DETECTION

Left untreated, AFib can lead to serious health consequences. The irregular heart rhythm causes improper blood flow in the heart, which can lead to stroke, heart failure and other medical problems. AFib can be temporary or persistent, but it is a manageable condition when treated by a doctor and with medication. Many people with AFib live healthy lives.
