In addition to chatting with friends, streaming music, and tracking workouts, you can now use your Apple Watch to take an electrocardiogram (also known as an EKG or ECG test) to measure heart rhythm, as well as identify signs of atrial fibrillation (AFib). Both features go live today for Series 4 users as part of a free update to watchOS 5.1.2, and Series 1 through 4 users will get the irregular heart rate notifications with the update.
The new ECG app can generate an ECG similar to a single-lead electrocardiogram using electrodes in the back crystal and Digital Crown of the Series 4. To use, simply launch the ECG app and hold your finger against the Digital Crown, which will send a circuit of electrical signals across your heart to monitor for unusual heart rhythms.
After just 30 seconds, you'll get your reading: sinus rhythm (which means no unusual heart rhythms were detected), AFib, or inconclusive.
You should use this feature when you're experiencing strange symptoms (think rapid or skipped heartbeats); it's not recommended to take multiple ECG readings in a row or when you're feeling normal. The AFib feature runs in the background and will occasionally check for your heart rhythm; if five consecutive irregular heart rhythms are detected, you'll get a notification.
