Record an electrocardiogram with the ECG app on Apple Watch Ultra
Apple Watch Ultra has an electrical heart rate sensor that, along with the ECG app 
, allows you to take an electrocardiogram (or ECG). To use the ECG app, update your iPhone Xs or later to the latest version of iOS and Apple Watch Ultra to the latest version of watchOS. The ECG app is not available in all regions.
Open the Health app on your iPhone, then follow the onscreen steps to set up ECG.
If you don’t see a prompt to set up, tap Browse at the bottom right, tap Heart, then tap Electrocardiogram (ECG).
Open the ECG app on your Apple Watch Ultra.
Rest your arm on a table or in your lap.
With the hand opposite your watch, hold your finger on the Digital Crown, then wait while Apple Watch Ultra records the ECG.
You don’t need to press the Digital Crown during the session.
At the end of the recording, you receive a classification. You can then tap Add Symptoms and choose your symptoms. Tap Save to note any symptoms, then tap Done. To view your results on iPhone, open the Health app on iPhone, tap Browse at the bottom right, then tap Heart > Electrocardiograms (ECG).
Important: To ensure the best reading after swimming, showering, heavy perspiration, or washing your hands, clean and dry your Apple Watch Ultra. It may take one hour or more for your Apple Watch Ultra to completely dry. ECG is designed to function between 32º and 95º F (0° and 35° C).
For more information about the ECG app, see the Apple Support article Take an ECG with the ECG app on Apple Watch, and the document Electrocardiogram (ECG) App Instructions for Use (IFU).
