My understanding is you can upload the data and their algorithm will analyze the ECGs and give you a report. Here isby GeorgeN - AFIBBERS FORUM
Wellue sells a small holter monitor that is worn as a patch on the chest with 2 ecg electrodes. These are $200 on eBay and have been around for a long time. They're actually fairly powerful. You can wear it for 24 hours and it will actually sort all of the rhythms with AI and give you a pretty detailed summary. That is probably the best most affordable option for actual real-time arrhythmiaby runner114 - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thank you. Yes I am thinking of getting Wellue's 12 lead ECG... it's tiny, can be used as an instant ECG or 24hr Holter, and it will do a much better job than anything else out there.by WhyMe - AFIBBERS FORUM
An update since my first post... Since May this year I started feeling more & more dizzy, out of breath and with lots of ectopics/PVCs/PACS/SVTs etc. I even got dizzy bending down to put on shoes/tie shoe laces. My resting HR had increased considerably, was 51 bpm on a 21-week avg, and went up to 64 avg during May and June a 25% increase My walking heart rate avg increased from 82bpmby kitenski - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thanks mjamesone, I've contacted Wellue to see what it can do. GeorgeN, thanks for all info, I think I'll read through some of your other posts too. I don't think Elite HRV can zoom in... I'm certain it isn't artifact because it is very repeatable (I just have to pedal harder, my body is still) and I feel the difference in my chest.

Hi! This is my first post since around 2014 when I had a successful ablation for afib. Up to about a year ago, my heart has been doing fairly well -- some PACs but no afib that I knew of. Then I had some sessions with a laser detox specialist for insomnia, GERD, and leaky gut. All hell broke loose after that.

I would encourage considering a consumer class monitor like the Wellue AI-ECG if you are worried. It gives you realtime feedback through a smartphone and the PC app gives you 24-hr statistics of anomolies. Makes it easier to correlate food, exercise, medicine, fasting, etc, impact on heart. (You don't have to wait weeks for results). For me, only tiny episodes of AFIB and no ablation butby AsympPACs - AFIBBERS FORUM
I didn't have much AFIB but I had 8000-16000 PACs a day. (associated with COVID booster resulting in myocarditis.) 3-4 months of diet and exercise changes got my PACs under control. I swear by the continuous use of the Wellue AI-ECG monitor to get insights into impacts of different diet, exercise and medications.

Hi DaveR, The details of the Wellue ECG are here: I am able to use the hour by hour table to quickly scan for good hours and bad hours for both PACs and PVCs just by looking at the number of digits in the columns. (See page 3 of the ECG report). The table is not as nice as the typical 1-week holter monitor graphs that are normally provided but the Wellue is infinitely less costly.

AsymPACs, does the Wellue ECG software automatically calculate averages and graph PACs and PVCs? That would be handy to follow trends and to identify what helps and hurts PAC rates.by DaveR - AFIBBERS FORUM

I have daily PACs. They are almost always totally asymptomatic unless I'm trying to feel them by putting pressure on my chest.

My PACs are down to under 50 a day for the past three days! In my case, I definitively think it was glucose related. I've added to my daily exercise from light intensity brisk walking or 1.5-3 miles to also include 30-90 minutes of exercise bike riding at 100-120 bpm. My own doctor thought walking 1.5-3 miles a day was likely sufficient. There is much recent literature on glucose andby AsympPACs - AFIBBERS FORUM
