About this deal
If you have heart block and permanent atrial fibrillation, I venture to say that you will get very little useful information from the Kardia. Some personal-use ECG devices have built-in screens so you can see your heart rhythm on the monitor.
Keep in mind that some personal-use ECGs might not always pick up slight or brief changes in your heart rhythm. We would recommend downloading the KardiaMobile Apple or Androidapp to ensure compatibility before purchase.
The skeptical cardiologist has gotten his hands on AliveCor’s brand new KardiaMobile Card and can confirm that it is an amazing development in the personal mobile ECG space. KardiaMobile 6L can detect AFib, Bradycardia, and Tachycardia, with more determinations available with a KardiaCare membership (such as Sinus Rhythm with PVCs, Sinus Rhythm with Wide QRS, and Sinus Rhythm with SVE). A Holter monitor is a device that your doctor may ask you to wear for a short amount of time to track any possible abnormalities in your heart rhythm.
While KardiaMobile can help detect your heart rate and related irregularities, it cannot detect a heart attack.This is done via electrodes on the face of the watch as well as sensors on the back that are placed against your wrist.
