Alivecor KardiaMobile ECG is a portable medical device that allows individuals to perform electrocardiogram (ECG) tests on themselves from the comfort of their own homes or on-the-go. The device is small and easy to use, consisting of a small, rectangular device that attaches to the back of a smartphone or tablet and communicates with an accompanying app.

A risk factor for heart attacks and strokes is an abnormal heart rhythm, but it’s easily missed, and why extended observations are necessary with a cumbersome and expensive Holter monitor. To make things easier, and maintain accuracy, a study by clinicians and researchers at Westmead Hospital and the University of Sydney has compared a simple finger electrode linked to your mobile phone against Holter monitoring.

Using KardiaMobile (Single-Lead) and KardiaMobile 6L (6-Lead)   is simple: the user places their fingers on the device’s metal sensors and holds still for 30 seconds while the device records the electrical signals from their heart. The data is then transmitted to the app, which analyzes the ECG and provides a reading within seconds.

The device is particularly useful for individuals with heart conditions or those who are at risk of cardiovascular disease, as it allows for frequent monitoring of their heart health. Additionally, KardiaMobile ECG can help detect potentially dangerous heart conditions, such as atrial fibrillation (AFib), which can be difficult to diagnose without regular monitoring.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a type of irregular heartbeat that occurs when the heart’s upper chambers (atria) beat out of sync with the lower chambers (ventricles). This can lead to the formation of blood clots in the heart, which can then travel to the brain and cause a stroke. To read more about Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke follow this link

Researchers randomly assigned 243 patients to either receive an AliveCor smartphone heart monitor or to receive the standard of care in their institution.

 

One of the key benefits of KardiaMobile ECG is its convenience. Users can perform ECG tests at any time and from anywhere, making it a valuable tool for busy individuals or those who have difficulty accessing traditional medical care. The device is also affordable, costing significantly less than traditional ECG machines.

Up to 1 in 5 patients presenting with stroke are found to have underlying Atrial Fibrillation which may have been a significant contributing factor. Reduce the risk of irregular heartbeats causing stroke by monitoring your ECG at home using KardiaMobile.

Overall, KardiaMobile ECG is a valuable tool for individuals who want to take an active role in their heart health. With its ease of use, affordability, and convenience, it has the potential to make a significant impact on the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease.
