Hello @elliott, I combined your post into the discussion titled "Medical devices to monitor heart rhythm (i.e., Alivecor, KardiaMobile)" - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/kardiamobile/.

Here, you can meet members @thisnthat, @afibguy, @janet23, and @balmich have all posted in this discussion about using an Apple Watch or the Kardia devices. They may be able to share their own experiences with why there are differences in the capabilities of both.

@elliott, you mentioned your watch was what first indicated that you should go be seen and that it led to your diagnosis. Did your cardiologist have a recommendation on which device to use and if so, when to use it?

Thanks for your reply. No recommendations. He just wanted to test and verify the alert.

I have a Kardia Mobile but I believe I get a lot of false readings. I use a Oxymeter on left hand and blood pressure kit on right. The heart rates usually match. Then I use Kardia Mobile and it says I’m in Tachycardia. I believe if you have arrhythmia, you can’t get a true reading. My EP told me to put it up and only use it if I have other symptoms like chest pain, dizzy, passing out.
