What Is an ECG, How to use ECG and Why Is It Important?

What Is an ECG?

An Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test that measures the electrical activity of the heart. Every heartbeat generates electrical signals, and an ECG records these signals to analyze heart rhythm, rate, and potential irregularities.

Why Is ECG Important?

ECGs are widely used in medical settings to detect heart conditions such as Arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) including Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) and other Heart rate abnormalities

Regular ECG monitoring can help detect potential heart problems early, even before noticeable symptoms appear.

How Does Circular Ring 2 Use ECG?

The Circular Ring 2 is the first smart ring with an FDA-cleared ECG algorithm, allowing you to take an on-the-spot heart rhythm analysis anytime, anywhere. By placing your opposite hand’s finger on the ring, you complete a circuit, and within 30 seconds, the app provides a detailed heart rhythm assessment.

Make sure to follow the instructions
Sit down still during measurement

While ECGs are a powerful tool for heart health, Circular Ring 2 is not a medical device and does not replace professional medical assessments. If you notice unusual readings, consult a doctor for further evaluation. If you experience chest pain, heart palpitations, dizziness, or unusual fatigue, capturing an ECG trace and sharing it in PDF format can provide valuable information for your doctor.
