Garmin announced today (19th) that five of its flagship smartwatches are officially open to use the ECG function, which can instantly measure heart rhythm data and check whether there are symptoms of atrial fibrillation.
According to Garmin, its Venu 3 series, Venu 2 Plus, fenix 7 Pro series, epix Pro series and tactix 7 AMOLED, a total of 5 watches, have officially passed the approval of the Food and Drug Administration of Taiwan’s Ministry of Health and Welfare. After the version is updated, they can Turn on ECG detection on the smart watch.
The reporter actually conducted an actual measurement through the epix Pro watch today. In the first step, the user can find the “ECG” application in the quick menu and then start the detection. In the second step, you need to relax the hand wearing the watch on the table, and touch the watch frame with the thumb and index finger of the other hand to trigger the watch to perform measurements. Finally, wait for about 30 seconds. The heart rhythm index can be averaged and relevant symptom descriptions listed.

Well-known YouTuber physician Cang Lange shared that the dangers of “atrial fibrillation” can be detected early through electrocardiogram. Many patients do not know that they have this problem at the beginning and often do not discover it until the onset or complications of symptoms. In particular, “atrial fibrillation” is very dangerous. It may eventually turn into a stroke. If you can take good daily care, you can reduce a lot of regrets.
