Samsung Galaxy Watch ECG test by Afib patient on Tikosyn

Does the electrocardiogram (ECG) feature on Samsung Galaxy Watch work for patients with atrial fibrillation? Is Tikosyn (Dofetilide) able to sustain sinus rhythm after trail riding on a mountain bike?
Afib condition implies heart valves are out of sync for these smart watches to measure heartbeat correctly. Tikosyn and similar medication slow the electrical signals to put the heart valves back in sync. This video is an unscientific check to see if mountain biking causes either the medication or the Galaxy Watch to malfunction 10 days after Tikosyn loading. (And what not to do with the watch.)

Actually the reason the watch needs to be on your wrist is because it has two metal electrodes that take a part in the EKG reading.

I was gonna say

The ECG requires two points of contact, one on your wrist and the other on your opposite finger. You can't get an ECG reading with only one contact.

Hope you feel better… great bike Ibis Ripley!

The watch is measuring electrical transmissions. I think holding the watch in your left hand with your glove on may have been interfering with electrical conduction.

Hi, so do you recommend samsung galaxy for checking afib?

[@udtrader]

Yes, I have upgraded to newer Galaxy Watch 5 Pro and loving it with reliable AFIB test. If you get one, I'd stay away from the magnetic band as it will stick to your car keys, paperclips, coins. amzn.to/3DkYwKm

Brain damage lead to hemeroid... Wow 🙄😁

LOL, I think he meant hemorrhage.

[@samaelmartinus3273]

Thanks for the video. My cardiologist recommended a Apple watch for afib detection.
I have a Samsung phone though and was wondering if it detects without having to do it manually like the apple watch does?
Can you answer that for me please?
I'm trying to avoid buying a new phone and watch.

Galaxy Watch requires manual ECG reading holding index finger on the sensor for 30 seconds. Fitbit Sense 2 provides continuous ECG if you pay monthly subscription. amzn.to/3S7Mf24

@@udtrader wow thanks for the reply. Really helped

[@erikthecat47]

Need to be your wrist?!

[@udtrader]

I know, right? This is what happens when you ride your bike for the first time in a while and your 3 brain cells quit working. ;)

[@RafeHusain]

will it work if you have non samsung phone like google pixel 4a

[@tpoprocks]

i think it works on all Android

[@skd7626]

You have to wear the watch

[@sameer-nb2jv]

it shows fake afib many times

[@Abhi-ow1dr]

Always read manual first 😅

Samsung's Galaxy watch ECG sucks...I have one and it's terrible. Never buying another Samsung. Mine does the same thing as yours... Just terrible

[@DrDingus]

Do you think the fitbit ECG's are any better? or you think they are all gimick?

[@batfleck5700]

@@DrDingus only apple seems reliable according to quantified scientist

[@Chris34720]

ive got the watch 5 pro and i dont find it relaible at all, sometimes the lines go all over the place i will be sending it back and going to apple i think as i hear their ecg app is reliable

[@ssimt]

@@Chris34720 Just to let you know this happens with apple as well. Sometimes you just need to clean the watch, restart and start all over again.
