Reading my Kardia Hi, all! I decided it's probably time to learn more about my ECG readings on my Kardia, so I've been watching YouTube videos. I'm attaching two 'readings/strips"? from last night. One is NSR and the other is Sinus Rhythm with Supraventricular Ectopy. Oddly enough, not sure if anything is related or if it's all related, I went to bed with a nice normal HR but hours later nearbouts 3:30 am, I got up to use the bathroom, went back to bed, and my heart tripped into tachycardia-- steady but fast rate at under 110 bpm. I tried all the stuff we all try to get things back to normal, but ended up having to take metoprolol tartrate around 5a.m. which did the trick by 9:30 am. I know just enough to confuse myself. On Lead 1, for both of the attachments, where is my QRS stuff?? I must be missing something. Thanks in advance for a gentle redirect (y'all are so kind about that!!

I'm working with old tech and it'll take me a bit.

For you, might have more info to just have the Kardia do Lead I and then put the whole strip on the page, rather than the other leads

I agree. For most people I want to see a longer recording of lead I (II would be even better). The other leads are rarely all that useful with afib. A full 30-second recording of lead I or II is most useful IMO.]]> Carey AFIBBERS FORUM Fri, 02 Aug 2024 00:36:54 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196786,196788#msg-196788 Re: Reading my Kardia https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196786,196788#msg-196788 GeorgeN AFIBBERS FORUM Fri, 02 Aug 2024 00:11:38 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196786,196787#msg-196787 Re: Reading my Kardia https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196786,196787#msg-196787
In Lead 1, you have varying R/R intervals, meaning the distance between the tall spikes varies by a few more m/sec than is normal in variation. So, the degree of variation, but also how irregularly those intervals vary, suggests atrial fibrillation.]]> gloaming AFIBBERS FORUM Thu, 01 Aug 2024 23:56:48 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196786,196786#msg-196786 Reading my Kardia https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196786,196786#msg-196786 I decided it's probably time to learn more about my ECG readings on my Kardia, so I've been watching YouTube videos.
