Apple Watch ECG inconclusive: what does this mean for Apple Watch users? Here are three things you need to know about the Apple Watch ECG and its recent inconclusive diagnosis.
The first thing you need to know is that Apple Watch ECG is not a perfect tool. It is not 100% accurate, and it can sometimes give false readings. This is why it’s important to always consult with a doctor if you have any concerns about your health.
The second thing you need to know is that an inconclusive diagnosis from the ECG does not mean that you have a heart condition. In fact, most people who receive an inconclusive diagnosis will never develop a heart condition. The Apple Watch ECG is just one tool that doctors use to assess your risk for developing a heart condition.
The third and final thing you need to know about inconclusive diagnoses is that they are relatively common. In fact, around 20% of all the ECG readings are inconclusive. So if you receive an inconclusive diagnosis, don’t panic. Just make sure to follow up with your doctor to see if any further testing is needed.
How does it work?
This type of ECG uses two electrodes built into the back of the watch and one electrode on the Digital Crown. These electrodes work together to detect any electrical activity in your heart. When you put your finger on the Digital Crown, it completes the circuit and allows Apple Watch to take an electrocardiogram (ECG). The ECG app then records a 30-second snapshot of your heart’s electrical activity. You can view this snapshot, share it with your doctor, or save it in Apple Health.
What does an Apple Watch ECG look like?
This type of ECG reading consists of three parts: sinus rhythm detection, atrial fibrillation detection, and low heart rate notifications. Sinus rhythm detection is the most common type of ECG reading. It checks to see if your heart is beating in a normal pattern. Atrial fibrillation detection checks for a rapid and irregular heartbeat that could be a sign of afib. Low heart rate notifications can alert you if your heart rate drops below a certain threshold.
By understanding these things, you can rest assured that Apple Watch ECG inconclusive diagnoses are nothing to worry about. So go ahead and enjoy using your Apple Watch! And always consult with a doctor if you have any concerns about your health. Thanks for reading.
