Has anybody used the H10 to monitor Atrial Fibrillation (aka "afib")? I'd like to use the H10 to collect data that I can share with my physician.

Has anybody used the H10 to monitor Atrial Fibrillation (aka "afib")? I'd like to use the H10 to collect data that I can share with my physician.
- anonuser123456 3y agoWhat do you expect your doc to do with the data? Are you trying to capture very infrequent events or trying to quantify your afib burden?
- rnk 3y agoI thought an apple watch identify afib history too.
- anonuser123456 3y agoYou have to know if you have afib though, which can be tough to detect for people with infrequent and self limiting cases. Example; I get bigeminy PACs, which apple watch flags as possible afib when there is noise that obscures the p-wave. But my cardiologist has seen the pattern on a more sensitive device and says it’s not afib.

- 1024core 3y agoJust show him what I'm experiencing. Sometimes it's hard to describe in words; try saying this to your cardiologist: "my heart goes thump-thump and then pauses for a second and then goes thump-thump-thump in rapid succession"
- anonuser123456 3y agoGet a Kardia 6 leed ecg device (around 150 USD). They even have one that fits in your wallet. Heart rate is not enough. You need to look at the QRS and P wave via ECG.
- kbre93 3y agoThis would be possible I with the Polar H10 I think. The H10 sends raw ECG and analysis on this waveform could be used to find anomalies like afib. I haven't done this myself though.
