Introduction

The Inconclusive Samsung ECG result is one of the most confusing experiences when monitoring your heart health, especially because it doesn't tell you the reason. You can have a Low Heart Rate Samsung ECG or a High Heart Rate Samsung ECG or an abnormal heart rhythm that your Samsung ECG is unable to interpret. In your frustration, you might be wondering, "What does Inconclusive mean on my Samsung ECG?" Or you might be thinking, "Why does my Samsung ECG keep saying Inconclusive?" In this guide, we'll help answer these questions, as well as provide clarity on when a Samsung Inconclusive ECG may be a cause for concern from a high heart rate. Let's dive in.

What Does High Heart Rate Mean on My Samsung ECG?

Your Samsung ECG provides the following interpretations: Normal Sinus Rhythm, Atrial Fibrillation, or Inconclusive. If your heart rate is above 100 bpm, or if your heart rate is above 120 bpm and your Samsung Watch sees signs of Afib, it isn't able to interpret your ECG as Normal Sinus Rhythm or Atrial Fibrillation, so it labels your ECG as Inconclusive. If your heart rate is below 50 bpm, it also labels your ECG as Inconclusive. If you're getting Inconclusive ECGs on your Samsung Watch, it could be because of:

• Hard exercise like a run or workout.
• Natural excitement. 😊
• Dehydration.
• An infection like COVID-19.
• An arrhythmia like Afib or SVT.
• Stress.

Is High Heart Rate a Cause for Concern?

If your Samsung ECG app shows Inconclusive for a heart rate above 100 bpm, there's often a simple explanation for it, like stress, dehydration, excitement, or exercise. If you don't see a simple explanation for why your high heart rate is going above 100 bpm, an Inconclusive ECG on your Samsung Watch may be a sign of an abnormal heart rhythm. Here are some irregular heart rhythms to look out for:

• Sinus Tachycardia.
• Atrial Fibrillation.
• Atrial Flutter.
• Ventricular Tachycardia.
• Supraventricular Tachycardia.

As always, if you're experiencing symptoms, or if you see signs of abnormal heart rhythms on your watch ECG, contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible to rule out underlying heart conditions. Here are some symptoms to look out for:

• Chest pain or chest tightness.
• Dizziness or lightheadedness.
• Shortness of breath.
• Fatigue or feeling overly tired.
• Flutters in your chest.
• Skipped heartbeats.
