Product Information

KardiaMobile 6L has two electrodes on the top for your fingers or thumbs and one on the bottom to contact the skin of your left leg. Your doctor can use a medical-grade, 12-lead ECG to observe subtle changes in your heart rhythm to diagnose both new and old cardiac events. From clinician ECG reviews to custom summary reports, our KardiaCare membership gives you personalised insights on your heart health that allow you to track your heart activity over time and may even help you identify symptoms and triggers.

He said “you really do have SVT, hmmmm” The fact that I had to go through all of this when he could have just gotten my medical records is enough to make me look for another doctor. If your device has stopped working and is still under warranty please contact us for troubleshooting assistance. This includes irregular heartbeats that might be faster or slower than usual, as well as irregular rhythms. Similar to a conventional EKG, the KardiaMobile device measures your heart’s electrical activity to help detect possible irregularities in rate and rhythm.

In just 30 seconds, it can detect arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, and tachycardia.

If you are unsure about your reading or are suffering from undiagnosed symptoms it is always recommended to seek help from a medical professional. Note that the ECG baseline (outlined by red line) becomes very stable within a few beats of starting the recording. An unclassified reading and elevated heart rate reading caused me to forward ECGs to my cardiologist. This categorises an ECG into 1 of 12 groups of potential arrhythmias; 1 of which includes atrial fibrillation.

KardiaMobile is a pocket-sized personal EKG device that allows you to measure your heart rate and rhythm and then capture the data on your linked smartphone. KardiaMobile 6L also features updated connectivity to your phone or tablet to prevent loss of connectivity due to interference from ultrasonic noise (eg. These machines are meant to enhance the information your doctor can use to manage your condition, but they are not a replacement for regular medical care.

Generally, one gets a “one-lead” pacemaker with just the ventricle being stimulated when one has permanent atrial fibrillation.

However, many of these devices require a healthcare professional like a home care nurse to use and read them. Patients who self-test and detect normal sinus rhythm report increased peace of mind, which may reduce the need for physician visits. The Normal Algorithm declares the ECG as Unclassified for ECGs that have a heart rate below 40 or above 140 bpm. Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).It’s quick and easy to use with no gels, wires or cables and it detects atrial fibrillation, one of the major risk factors for stroke.

I’ve used the 6L 6-lead device regularly since they first became available and it does give more information, but in my case I never found having more information to be of real value over the single lead device. Talk with your doctor about your individual cardiac health needs and what type of monitor is best for you.

KardiaMobile can detect Normal Sinus Rhythm, Bradycardia, Tachycardia and Atrial Fibrillation (AFib), in just 30 seconds. While KardiaMobile can’t replace a full EKG conducted in a doctor’s office or hospital, the device may still provide valuable insights into your heart health.
