Heart Monitor Scheduled for a flutter ablation with Natale on March 11. They have recommended that I get a Kardia Mobile in order to provide weeky EKGs post procedure. In my instructions there was a link to Amazon for the single-lead device. I am aware there is also a six-lead device. Any suggestions on which device to acquire.....any reason to go with the six-lead????

I've never dropped mine on tile floors but I've put two of them through the wash in my pocket.

I would think that a reputable electrophysiologist would appreciate a clean EKG.

It is ironic......my initial ablation with Natale was March 10. 2011. That was the date of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Couldn't sleep in the hospital, so watched the the news all night long. Will never forget that date.

(No, they don't survive a washing machine.)]]> Carey AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 26 Feb 2025 04:42:17 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,199098,199101#msg-199101 Re: Heart Monitor https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,199098,199101#msg-199101
I've had a single lead Kardia since 2014. I have broken a few while staying in accommodations with tile floors & mine break when they hit those floors. You can get new ones off eBay for under $40 US.

What you don't need is the subscription service. You're getting that from Natale's staff for free.]]> Carey AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 26 Feb 2025 00:24:55 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,199098,199098#msg-199098 Heart Monitor https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,199098,199098#msg-199098
