Take an ECG Anytime

1 / 8

The Apple Watch 4 packs a new heart rate sensor and it also includes the ability to take an Electrocardiogram right on your wrist at any time.

Typically you need to go to a doctor to get an ECG, and it might not capture the heart issues that happen throughout the day.

With the Apple Watch 4, you can take an ECG by placing your finger on the digital crown and the Apple Watch does the rest. This is an FDA Approved mobile ECG, and it is potentially life saving.

This joins a host of other Apple Watch heart features that are available on other models including low heart rate alert, afib alert and more heart health record keeping and tracking. You can easily share the health information to your doctor from the Health app on your iPhone.
