Should I be concerned about frequent Apple Watch afib notifications?

All of sudden been receiving notifications that report afib less than 2% a week. This concerns me as never been told by my Dr on 6 month check ups. Should I be concerned? Will surely mention on next visit.

just wondering why always less than 2%. Is this a new feature on Apple Watch?

thanks

Hello tommie922,


Your risk percentage is at an excellent level. According to this article, AFib (Atrial Fibrillation) risk will never be 0% when this feature is enabled; it will remain at a base of 2%. Here's more info (you can always turn this feature off in Health on iPhone):
