When exercising, as well as when watching TV or resting, heart rate is a significant measure of general health. Although Garmin wearables with optical heart rate offer some of the best quality data of any wearable now on the market, it can be challenging to understand all that data on your own unless you’re an expert.
The Cardiogram Heart Health app and Cardiogram can now provide assistance.
Can Garmin detect heart problems?
For the detection of an irregular heartbeat, a significant heart problem, heart failure, or perhaps atrial fibrillation, do not rely on these instruments. For the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation, additional tests are required.
However, they frequently keep an eye out for certain illnesses, such as atrial fibrillation, which is characterized by an erratic heartbeat. NEVER do they check to see whether a heart attack is happening.
We don’t get it here because this is under the diagnostics menu and not a standard function.
Garmin watches that are more recent can alert you if your heart rate unexpectedly rises above a predetermined level. You will receive a watch alert if you are inactive for 10 minutes or longer and your heart rate remains above your predetermined threshold.
