Samsung notifies U.S. Galaxy Watch users that the “Vascular Load” health feature will be discontinued in late July. The change affects a Preventative Care heart metric that appears in Samsung Health and related watch software. Multiple outlets report that Samsung is replacing Vascular Load with a new measurement focused on blood pressure trends. According to the notifications, “Blood Pressure Trend” is set to be added as the replacement within Samsung Health 7.0 and One UI Watch 9. The transition means users who currently rely on the Vascular Load metric will no longer see it after the scheduled shutdown. Samsung’s updates frame the change as a swap to a different cardiovascular-related feature rather than the removal of the broader preventative care category. Users will need to update to the relevant software versions to access the new blood pressure trend metric. The discontinuation applies to the U.S. market as described by the outlets, with the feature disappearing once the late-July timeline arrives.
