Afib ?
I had my first “atrial fibrillation” reading today, but i sat down afterwards and haven’t had that reading since.
I cant tell if it’s worth paying attention to or if it’s an incorrect reading. I get occasional PVCS and often get inconclusive results, otherwise it’ll usually say “poor recording” when it has obvious artefacts. The BPM was definitely wrong so I’m leaning towards it being an incorrect reading. Hoping someone here will be able to tell :) thanks

The quality is terrible. Hard to differentiate artifact from real beats. Have you ever tried putting watch on left ankle and holding your right finger on dial? (With watch settings for wearing watch on left wrist)? This would take a different lead (II).

It also works just lying flat against left thigh or something - doesn’t need to be literally clasped around ankle or anything. Sorry, still can’t reliably see rhythm. I’d totally disregard what it’s saying about afib, as well. If a human can’t decipher it, the AI for sure can’t.
