Take an ECG

Many people claim the EGC app on their Apple Watch has saved their lives, and it can also help you too.

With the ECG app, you can call an electrocardiogram, also called ECG or EGC, to record the timing and strength of the electrical signals your heartbeat makes. This is a pretty important feature, and it can help you detect irregularities in your heart rhythm.

You’ll be able to see the results and understand if your heart is showing signs of atrial fibrillation, or AFib for short, or if your patterns look normal. Of course, this feature will never be as good as going to the doctor and getting yourself checked, so consider visiting your health provider if you feel like there’s something off about your heart rate.
