OK, I’m not a Dr. so I can’t comment on the different lines. But it’s easy to use and it will tell you if there’s any abnormalities. At first I had problems with dry skin but a bit of saliva cured that. I also tried the tiniest dab of some Spectra 360 electrode gel and it REALLY liked that connection! After 30 seconds the test is done and it gives the results. It confirmed what I suspected, that I was still alive and yes, I do have a working heart. More than that is beyond me. I see my cardiologist next week and I’ll bring my phone with the recorded graphs.
If one wants to subscribe to a service there’s more data to be had. Or there is a place in the app to get a cardiologist to look at it for a fee.
I don’t intend to go overboard with testing but as a heart patient I think it might help answer questions I have once in awhile and look at things in the long term. If not from the built in diagnostics then if I share the traces with my Dr.
I think it might be a valuable tool to monitor the heart after different activities, such as before, during, and after the gym. EKGs can be labeled.

I was diagnosed with AFIB and needed to monitor my heart on a daily basis. This is an excellent tool for just that purpose. Easy to use, very accurate and enabled me to gain control over my Fibrulation problem. I found the six prong model to be easy to use, very durable and has great electronic features that allow you to keep wonderful records. I highly endorse this product.

O produto é muito bom, mas o aplicativo não está disponível para o Brasil. Para conseguir usar, tive que acessar a conta Google do meu irmão que mora em Portugal para baixar o app no celular. Ele funciona muito bem e faz o ECG em 6 derivações.
Só não vai ganhar 5 estrelas por essa dificuldade de baixar o app.

I’ve owned a few low cost home EKG devices, and this is by far the best, but there are some drawbacks…
Pros:
– Device and app are easy to use to take an EKG.
– Creates a nice 6-lead reading that can be saved in a PDF and sent to doctors (several have said this is useful and helps).
Cons:
– Requires a paid subscription if you want it to tell you about more than the most basic results (it will ignore and not tell you certain things unless you pay).
– Requires a phone/app to use it.
– Not marked for orientation which can be a problem if you don’t use it often and remember (have to remember their company logo and which way is up, which isn’t obvious).
– To avoid the paid subscription, you have to go through extra steps to save the results/PDF of each reading.
– The paid subscription is a money grab which forces you to buy services you may not need so you can also unlock the full result reporting in the app, which other devices provide as part of the purchase cost.
– Very often doesn’t sense/read well so skin almost always has to be moistened in some way (never had this problem with other competing devices).
This takes an EKG by holding the device with two hands (thumb/finger holding each side of it) and placing the back of it on your leg just above the knee, and holding for 30 secs. The app is easy to start and indicates if it is reading and the progress. Then shows the results, allows you to add notes, and you can also save/export it as a PDF.
The results are very useful and good, though I found we often have to dampen the skin to get good contact and a good reading. The device is small enough to carry with you, and you can also use your ankle instead of your leg/knee for a 6 lead reading, or just your hands for a simpler 2 lead reading (like the lower cost model of this device).
I definitely recommend it, and it is great for catching those events that only occasionally happen, so you can them send/show them to the doc. It’s also useful for things like eliminating false worry, or recording things and adding notes, for them to be reviewed by your doctor. I don’t like they way they limit the app function (reporting certain detected conditions) unless you pay a monthly subscription fee to keep in unlocked, but it will report the most basic ones, and if you just send/show this to your doc for review, the subscription isn’t really needed.

Small and compact. Very easy to use and appears to do it’s job. You have the option to pay monthly for a clinician to review your results and feed back to you.
Download the app and link to your phone via Bluetooth.
Place the monitor on your left knee or ankle with the arrow facing upwards. Touch the sensors on the top with your first two fingers of each hand. Keep as still as you can while your heart tracing is taken. Results are quicky obtained and stored.
I would recommend for piece of mind. With waiting lists being what they are this might be a good way to check your heart health and have something tangible to show the GP.

Ich habe mir den AliveCor Kardia Mobile 6L EKG-Monitor gekauft und bin absolut begeistert. Das Gerät ist Smartphone-kompatibel und ermöglicht 6-Messungen, die äußerst präzise und zuverlässig sind.
Ich bin besonders zufrieden damit, dass das EKG meine doppelten Herzschläge (Extrasystolen) problemlos erkennt. Die Genauigkeit der Messungen gibt mir ein hohes Maß an Vertrauen in die Ergebnisse. Es ist beruhigend zu wissen, dass ich meine Herzgesundheit so einfach und bequem im Auge behalten kann.
Die Anwendung des KardiaMobile 6L ist sehr einfach und benutzerfreundlich. Das Gerät lässt sich problemlos mit meinem Smartphone verbinden und die EKG-Aufzeichnungen werden direkt in der App gespeichert. Die Darstellung der Daten ist klar und verständlich, was die Analyse meiner Herzaktivitäten erleichtert.
Ein weiterer großer Vorteil ist die Portabilität des Geräts. Es ist kompakt und leicht, sodass ich es überallhin mitnehmen kann. Dadurch bin ich in der Lage, jederzeit und überall ein EKG durchzuführen, was mir zusätzliche Sicherheit gibt.
Alles in allem bin sehr zufrieden. Es ist ein zuverlässiges, genaues und einfach zu bedienendes Gerät, das mir hilft, meine Herzgesundheit besser zu überwachen. Ich kann es jedem empfehlen, der nach einem praktischen und effektiven EKG-Monitor für den persönlichen Gebrauch sucht.

This little gadget provides peace of mind, EKGs that can be reviewed by a cardiologist, can help you understand why you feel “iffy” at anytime. Great purchase. Don’t hesitate. it is accurate, fast, easy to use, so simple a caveman can do it ;).

Clinical-use EKGs. Get the 6-lead, there’s no good reason to get the single lead. Having a 6 lead is an order of magnitude better than just a single lead. If you have any cardiac issues, get this! No debate. Nothing to think about.
It’s a fantastic, easy-to-use, reliable and CLINICALLY ACCEPTED 6 lead EKG and a very inexpensive price. The battery lasts around a year or more and is easily replaced. It’s the CR2016 (same size as the CR2036 but thinner, and may not be as easily found in stores as the more common CR2036 so best to order some online and keep them as back up. The store for like 10 years…)
You upload Kardia software to your iPhone/Android and it syncs easily with the device. There’s a section for “notes” which you can use the phone’s dictation option to dictate notes.
Better: buy two. Keep one at home in the medicine cabinet or wherever you store items for quick access, and another for your purse/pocket for when you’re traveling or out and about.
I’ve been in the clinical medical device industry for 40 years- this is a great product, that works well, and delivers clinically-valid results to your doctor; it is inexpensive and well made. No reason not to have one if you are dealing with any and all cardiac issues.
You don’t have to sign up for their service if you have your own cardiologist or GP. The software works with or without a “subscription” (which is really only about having access to a cardiologist who will “read” you EKG and give you a determination.) The software will make a “possible xxx” diagnosis for you. The main point is that you shouldn’t be buying this “for the heck of it” or to “see if I’ve got anything.” If you suspect you are having cardiac issues, you should already have gotten you derrière to a doctor, preferably a cardiologist.
If you already have consulted with your physician/cardiologist, then you already know – or suspect – what’s going on, and you would be following your cardiologists advice from here on out and this is merely gathering additional data for further clinical analysis/study. In either case, the Kardia-generated “possible diagnosis” should confirm what you and your cardiologist already suspect, or at least provide more data for your clinician to make a more accurate diagnosis.

Très simple d’ utilisation
Synchronisation avec mon tensiomètre immédiate . Un vrai plus.
Rapport de base est bien, le partager avec votre médecin traitant et cardiologue est bien sûr nécessaire.
Je n’ ai pas pris l’ option spécialiste de la société, un peu trop chère.
Je le ferai si mon cardiologue me le demande
Pour moi c’ est un outil de surveillance pour moi et en cas de doute, je m’ adresse à mes médecins.

Simple to operate and accurate (I am a medical provider). Takes some fiddling and more pressure than expected to achieve sufficient contact of the left leg sensor with the skin for the device to detect that lead. Overall a very handy, compact, quick, very basic heart rhythm monitoring device to have available in the field. Obvious limitations since only 6 leads, not 12 but useful nonetheless within its limitations.
