While one lead devices provide rhythm information, the extra lead gives some extra valuable insight to where the rythm is originating. I am not sure about the full ECG biew as it is extrapolated but I would not expect to replace an ECG machine with this. The key thing is that you can detect the P waves for those that have problems such as atrial flutter or similar. I was a bit puzzled in the beginning but the device works perfectly well without a subscription. It is very easy to use and if you have e problems a tiny bit moist at the skin contact points can make any difficulties go. I am not sure about the automatic diagnosis. I am a doctor with baseline ECG traning so for me it is enough. It usually gets the sinus rhythm right but it misses a bigeminy that lasted 15 seconds and it had some hard boundaries about what it considered tachy/bradycardia. I am very happy with the purchase a d I would definitely recommend this over the single lead version.

Small and compact. Very easy to use and appears to do it's job. You have the option to pay monthly for a clinician to review your results and feed back to you. Download the app and link to your phone via Bluetooth. Place the monitor on your left knee or ankle with the arrow facing upwards. Touch the sensors on the top with your first two fingers of each hand. Keep as still as you can while your heart tracing is taken. Results are quicky obtained and stored. I would recommend for piece of mind. With waiting lists being what they are this might be a good way to check your heart health and have something tangible to show the GP.

I'm a doctor and we use these to identify AF in the community. It's really simple to use once it's set up and providing that you keep still and get yourself in a comfortable position you will get a good trace. The basic package is limited in what it will tell you about the rhythm but this wasn't a concern for me as I interpret my own. Make sure you know what this will and won't tell you and also please consult your doctor. This is a great device that you can store your ECG tracing and then seek guidance.

This small, portable device is extremely clever. Coupled with the app you can be reassured when checking your heart rate on the go. All my friends want to use it to check their heart rate whenever I get it out. Its very light and small. Sometimes it can be difficult to find the right spot to use it on but persist and you can get your reading in no time. Recent price reduction means that its even better value for money.

I have used the KardiaMobile Monitor for several years now. I have also paid a yearly subscription for the advanced determination. The standard KM worked well as long as I had a Normal Sinus Rhythm. But problems began a few months ago when it started reading Atrial Fibrillation. I submitted the reading to Advanced Determination", and atrial fibrillation was confirmed by the cardiac technician. However, when I showed the rhythm strip to my cardiologist he read "Premature Atrial Contractions." This is an extremely important distinction, as far as treatment and prognosis is concerned. There is no point in having the KM if it gives false positives. HOWEVER, I looked at all other available monitors and decided on the KardiaMobile 6-Lead Monitor. It costs £50 more, and is worth every pence of it. It is simply much more reliable., than the basic KM. It reads NSR when the basic KM reads AFib. (And the cardiologist reads NSR.) I therefore highly recommend the KM 6 lead. I have found the standard single lead KM to be useless. Too many false positives. Sending the strip at £10 a shot for a further reading is also useless. They cannot distinguish PAC from AF. To be fair AliveCor does recommend that a cardiologist read the strip. But why buy a product which gives incorrect readings? Even the Advanced Determination couldn't provide the correct reading.

I'm sure the technology and software behind this device is impressive. But, that assumed This device is a bit of a con. The upselling of an additional £100 a year for access to readings that the device is already fully capable of is just unacceptable (these are just additional software algorithms) Having had major heart surgery at St Barts hospital I'm more educated than most on the readings obtained by ECG and and its inferences. Having followed the connection and application instructions to the letter, So far I'm just getting 'UNDETERMINED' as the devices output. I shall bare with the device for a few more days. However, I can already see me returning it, I'm glad I purchased it through Amazon with their excellent returns procedure. This device is very much a half-way-house between a smart watch and and a multi-lead ECG. Don't expect clear and concise readings. I would imagine all the five star reviews are the result of 'No Issues detected' and normal heart rhythms. This device could've been so much more with a bit more thought and care/respect for its customers

I have an Apple Watch, 2 automatic blood pressure devices that record heart rate, and an oximeter that measures both oxygen concentrations and pulse. I need to know if I am in atrial fibrillation and more importantly - what the ventricular rate is. I had a recent cardiac procedure and for the first time realized that the watch and the blood pressure devices may have been measuring the atrial rate rather than the ventricular rate. The first sign I had of that was my palpable carotid pulse and the oximeter pulse were about half as much as what the watch and BP devices were measuring. The difference between atrial and ventricular rates on a regular 12-lead ECG are obvious. When I heard that Kardia had a 6-lead ECG that was inexpensive and easy to use at home - I decided to try it. The credit card sized device is easy to use. It does take some practice to record smooth wave forms but that is no different than the Apple Watch. 30 second ECGs are recorded and easily converted to PDFs that can immediately be emailed to your doctor or clinic. I was recording and emailing them within 10 minutes of opening the box. I have included an image of an ECG tracing I made on September 15, 2023 showing normal sinus rhythm. The only downsides I have noted so far are minor and they include: 1: Extra services are for sale including additional algorithms for ECG interpretation. I can read ECGs so I did not consider that to be a big issue. It might be for a person who wants more than the very basic readings that do include atrial fibrillation. You can also consult with a Cardiologist through this app for a fee. 2: Deleting ECGs - the app gives you the choice to accept or rerecord ECGs during the initial save step. If you do save - there is no way that I can figure out to delete the files. It is easy to rapidly accumulate a large file of ECGs and I have not figured out how much memory these files are using. There are online instructions on how to delete the files but they do not appear to work for this specific device. 3: Getting used to doing the recording - to do the 6 lead ECG you needs to hold the device between the finger and thumb of your right and left hands and against the knee or ankle area of your left leg. If you waver too drastically the recording is rejected and you have to try again. A 6-lead ECG doesn't have chest leads - all of that information is not there. Regular 12-lead machine run by a tech is less likely to have significant artifacts so signal to noise is greater with a 12-lead ECG. Bundled into the cost of the 12 lead is a more extensive algorithm and a cardiologist read of the tracing. It is also important to remember that the ECG contains a lot of information and expertise interpreting it. In my opinion it is best to use it in collaboration with a physician who is following a known problem or suspects a problem rather than to think that it can be used as an independent diagnostic tool. All things considered this is a very innovative, practical, and easy to use device that produced superior recordings at home that can be used by your personal physicians.

I've owned a few low cost home EKG devices, and this is by far the best, but there are some drawbacks... Pros: - Device and app are easy to use to take an EKG. - Creates a nice 6-lead reading that can be saved in a PDF and sent to doctors (several have said this is useful and helps). Cons: - Requires a paid subscription if you want it to tell you about more than the most basic results (it will ignore and not tell you certain things unless you pay). - Requires a phone/app to use it. - Not marked for orientation which can be a problem if you don't use it often and remember (have to remember their company logo and which way is up, which isn't obvious). - To avoid the paid subscription, you have to go through extra steps to save the results/PDF of each reading. - The paid subscription is a money grab which forces you to buy services you may not need so you can also unlock the full result reporting in the app, which other devices provide as part of the purchase cost. - Very often doesn't sense/read well so skin almost always has to be moistened in some way (never had this problem with other competing devices). This takes an EKG by holding the device with two hands (thumb/finger holding each side of it) and placing the back of it on your leg just above the knee, and holding for 30 secs. The app is easy to start and indicates if it is reading and the progress. Then shows the results, allows you to add notes, and you can also save/export it as a PDF. The results are very useful and good, though I found we often have to dampen the skin to get good contact and a good reading. The device is small enough to carry with you, and you can also use your ankle instead of your leg/knee for a 6 lead reading, or just your hands for a simpler 2 lead reading (like the lower cost model of this device). I definitely recommend it, and it is great for catching those events that only occasionally happen, so you can them send/show them to the doc. It's also useful for things like eliminating false worry, or recording things and adding notes, for them to be reviewed by your doctor. I don't like they way they limit the app function (reporting certain detected conditions) unless you pay a monthly subscription fee to keep in unlocked, but it will report the most basic ones, and if you just send/show this to your doc for review, the subscription isn't really needed.

preso per controllare le fibrillazioni. Crea un tracciato realmente utile per un primo esame da parte del medico. Semplicissimo da utilizzare e rapido nel dare il risultato (30 sec o meno a seconda di come lo si imposta) le piccole dimensioni consentono di tenerlo sempre con se, consiglio di acquistare la custodia per proteggere le piastre di contatto, ne ho trovata una con il foro per la piastra posteriore che consente di non estrarlo dalla custodia. Affidabile e preciso
