BBUUTTTTTT......(there has to be a but...) your physician, LPN, EP, Cardio will want to see you or have you go in for an ECG to get something definitive for him/her to chew on....to see. The benefit of most modern devices such as smart watches and cardio evaluators, like Kardia Mobile, is that they will keep a record of each time you assess your heart's rhythm, and you can take that to the bank...er...I mean...send it in to the physician or specialist nurse on the cath lab ward. When I did that, the nurse asked if I could upload my Galaxy watch's record and send it to her. I didn't know, but I found out right quick and did that...within ten minutes. The EP didn't want to see me, didn't need to because the image of the ECG was so obviously fibrillation that it was unquestioned. Didn't even ask for an ER ECG. Called me two weeks later and said he'd like another go at RF ablation.

In summary, you can/should be able to detect it yourself, maybe with some practice and experience. But if your EP/Cardio will accept at least an initial indication from a smart device, that gets you into line a lot faster than having to wait for a more formal assessment.]]> gloaming AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 17 Jul 2024 22:25:39 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196600,196612#msg-196612 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196600,196612#msg-196612
Yes, diagnosing afib really is that easy. You don't need to spend a dime or wear a device.]]> Carey AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 17 Jul 2024 18:46:25 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196600,196604#msg-196604 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196600,196604#msg-196604 MeganMN AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 17 Jul 2024 04:48:10 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196600,196600#msg-196600 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196600,196600#msg-196600
