I need a watch that can monitor my heart for AFib (I have never had AFib, as far as I know).
But my heart also has Left Bundle Branch Block condition, so my EKG/ECG always come back abnormal.
Does anyone know if the Apple watch would be able to sense if I had an AFib episode?
Hi there IdreamOfJeanne2,
Thanks for asking about the ECG feature.
Check here for availability in your region: ECG.
ECG requires the following software:
For additional help with the ECG feature on your Apple Watch, take a look at these articles:

Take care.
So it might work or it might not. I guess my question is not one that can be answered, as there are too many variables.
An Apple phone and watch is a big investment, so I guess I will go to an Apple store and see if I can try on an Apple watch and run an ECG there.
Will Left Bundle Branch Block affect AFib detection?
