I’ve been hooked up to a 24hr ambulatory ECG for the past day to monitor my heart rhythm. It’s only three leads (all on the chest) so not uncomfortable under loose clothing. The sticky pads are much bigger and softer than the ones used for a regular ECG and the leads attach with a popper, not a clip. The recording device looks like a pager with a long lead so it’s easy to keep in a pocket or clip onto clothing. All in all a very easy experience so far.

OMRON Healthcare vừa ra mắt dòng thiết bị đo huyết áp thế hệ mới, tích hợp tính năng phát hiện rung nhĩ (Afib) và ghi điện tâm đồ (ECG) ngay tại nhà. Đây là bước tiến quan trọng giúp người dùng, đặc biệt là nhóm có nguy cơ cao, chủ động tầm soát sớm các bất thường về nhịp tim và quản lý bệnh lý tim mạch hiệu quả hơn, giảm thiểu rủi ro đột quỵ.

Endurance athletes have a four times higher risk of irregular heartbeat, and this may be why

Exercise is one of the best things we can do for a healthy heart. Yet research shows that endurance athletes have up to a four times higher risk of atrial fibrillation (an irregular or fast heartbeat) than non-athletes. This heart condition increases risk of both heart failure and stroke.

Eine Überprüfung tragbarer Geräte zur Arrhythmieerkennung kommt zu dem Schluss, dass Smartwatches, Ringe, EKG-Patches und intelligente Textilien mit der Holter-Überwachung bei Vorhofflimmern mithalten oder diese übertreffen können, wenn längere Überwachungsfenster verwendet werden.
