This feature will be removed in \u201clate July\u201d as part of One UI Watch 9 and version 7.0 of the Samsung Health app.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_gh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Galaxy Watch vascular load discontinued Enjinr\"  alt=\"Galaxy Watch vascular load discontinued Enjinr\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Galaxy-Watch-vascular-load-discontinued-Enjinr-scaled.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Samsung says it\u2019ll introduce a Blood Pressure Trend feature in lieu of Vascular Load. The company says you need a blood pressure cuff to set up your watch before you can start tracking blood pressure trends. Samsung also explains that the new feature will be available on its upcoming Galaxy Watch.<\/p>\n<p>For what it\u2019s worth, the company finally brought <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-watch-blood-pressure-monitoring-us-rollout-3653403\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">blood pressure tracking to Galaxy Watches<\/a> in the US earlier this year. This also requires the use of a blood pressure cuff every 28 days to maintain accuracy. However, the new Blood Pressure Trend feature will ostensibly give you a long-term picture.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear why the company has decided to drop Vascular Load tracking. The fact that it\u2019s only being dropped in the US suggests it could be related to regulatory issues. Then again, the existing blood pressure monitoring feature isn\u2019t subject to FDA clearance, either. It\u2019s also possible that the feature is being dropped in markets where Blood Pressure Trend will appear.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
