Monitoring while exercising

Posted by burn55 @burn55, 1 day ago

Any recommendations on best device to wear that can track heart rate and blood pressure while exercising? One that can handle the movement of HIT workouts? Bonus of it can do an occasional EKG😊
Thanks in advance!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Aortic Aneurysms Support Group.

Hi, HR monitors are many and fairly accurate, on the other hand there are no devices that can accurately measure BP while in movement.

I asked the question to Dr Prakash (the cardiologist that appears in some of the videos that have been posted in the forum) who is a recognized authority in aortic diseases and has done a lot of his research in exercising and aneurysms and other aortic diseases, and he flat out told me there is no way to do it.

Measuring BP right after exercise or even a rep would only give you the BP at exactly that time, BP starts falling from its peak as soon as you stop, so hard to know how high it went.
