KardiaMobile 6L Personal EKG (ECG) Device and Heart Monitor - Six-Lead EKG Recording - Detect AFib - FDA-Cleared - by AliveCor

Product Information

Never before has more heart health information been available at your fingertips. Share detailed 6-lead ECGs with your Doctor for review remotely or just record your heart activity over time for your own peace of mind. The 6 Lead gives me very credible Limb Lead results: Leads I, II, III, aVR, aVL, and aVF (but not the precordial leads V1-V6). This basically gives me useful EKG information about the right sided and posterior aspects of my heart. NICE has identified there is an unmet clinical need for a more easily accessible and available ways to measure heart rhythm disturbance such as QT interval in the psychiatric service setting.

Goldenthal IL, et al. (2019). Recurrent atrial fibrillation/flutter detection after ablation or cardioversion using the AliveCor KardiaMobile device: iHEART results. Healthline has strict sourcing guidelines and relies on peer-reviewed studies, academic research institutions, and medical associations. We avoid using tertiary references. You can learn more about how we ensure our content is accurate and current by reading our editorial policy. I have sent Kardia 6L reports to my cardiologist, who refers to the device as a ‘toy’ and has consistently discourage my use of it. That said, I will continue to listen to my cardiologists’ medical advice while using my 6L whenever I feel particularly “bad” to get a clue whether I should visit the ER or call the Cardio’s office. The device, and my own wide reading, allow me to do an initial but critical triage of my own symptoms without entangling professional help unnecessarily. You get a host of added features with a membership, but some are useful and some are not. https://store.alivecor.com/products/kardiacareThe 6L PDF report effectively simulates a paper EKG. Each ‘small box’ = 1 mm or 0.04 seconds. The typical PR interval duration: 0.12- 0.2s or 3-5 small boxes (variable by exercise and other pulse rate changes). See: The KardiaMobile 6L from AliveCor produces a medical grade 6 lead ECG recording that gives you and your Doctor a more complete view of your heart using a free iOS and Android App. It's the first and only FDA cleared and CE-marked six lead personal ECG that will automatically detect Atrial Fibrillation anytime, anywhere on your smartphone or tablet. Kardia devices can detect more arrhythmias than any other device. They detect what’s going on with your heart rather than simply indicating you have a “low heart rate” or “high heart rate”. It’s the next best thing to having your cardiologist at your side. Additional determinations: Sinus Rhythms with supraventricular ectopy, Sinus rhythm with Premature ventricular contractions, and Sinus Rhythm with wide QRS, BTW I have found the Kardia a great reassurance after 6 days in the ICU. I had my Astra Zeneca COVID vaccination 5 weeks ago, which prompted severe migraines for a week. 9 days later I went to the ED, advising them I likely had blood clots after my COVID jab. Massive clot in one leg stretching from ankle to groin, with a number of clots in my chest, affecting my heart. Now home on blood thinners and crutches, and very reassured heart is good according to Kardia.

Six leads, six times the heart data: More heart data than ever before, right at your fingertips.

The ECG can be recorded using KardiaMobile 6L, in any psychiatric setting, including during a home visit by a community health professional which may reduce the stress and anxiety of people attending an outpatient’s appointment. The data is recorded and transmitted wirelessly to a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet.We asked a very experienced cardiologist to review the electrocardiograms we recorded and give us his honest opinion. To him, the quality was good enough for detecting abnormal heart rhythms but not sufficient for other heart diseases. The KardiaMobile-6L has been designed and FDA-cleared to detect arrhythmia and will not replace a clinical 12-Lead analysis for clinical cardiology. Recommended by doctors: A trusted resource, KardiaMobile is clinically proven with over 100 peer reviewed research articles and is used by leading cardiologists. He has also written for and moderated several web medical forums in his spare time. His leisure time is spent between cycling, running, traveling, cooking, enjoying family and friends, listening to music, along with reading and finding the many biases and flaws in medical trials. In December I upgraded to the Kardia 6L, and think it’s a great improvement. My daily BP readings using my Omron BP device echo easily to my the Kardia iPhone/iPad software, along with history of my 6L EKGs. My portable devices have a full & current history of ‘official’ and Kardia / Omron readings wherever I am.

We appreciated the fact that the device comes with a battery and does not need to be charged. The included 3V CR2016 coin cell battery is given for 200 hours of ECG monitoring. Considering that it takes 30 seconds to record the electrocardiogram and heart rate, it equates to 24,000 analyses without worrying about the battery. AliveCor doesn’t appear to provide a clear explanation of what the 6-lead diagnostic advantages are for either the doctor or the patient. Two cardiologists I spoke with don’t see the advantage of the 6-lead device over the single lead device either. This makes me even more skeptical. Perhaps you or one of your followers could enlighten me. Electrocardiograms record the electrical activities of the heart. The higher the number of electrodes, the better the resolution and the higher the number of conditions to potentially identify. The 6-lead Kardiamobile comes with 3 electrodes (one for each thumb and the third on the left knee or ankle). It means that the flow of electricity is analyzed according to 6 different axes (I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF).

KardiaCare. A membership like no other.

The AliveCore KardiaMobile 6L is FDA-cleared for detecting warning signs of heart-rhythms abnormalities. Once the recording is completed, the AI-powered Kardia Determinations are displayed as Normal, Bradycardia, Tachycardia, Unclassified, or Possible Atrial Fibrillation. The Kardia mobile single lead and the six leads devices are both excellent, accurate, and both provide valuable information in detecting arrhythmia. The V2 upgrade and other extra features are only available with the KardiaCare Membership https://store.alivecor.com/products/kardiacare A rapidly dropping pulse oximeter reading while I was in the ED waiting room was an indication that clots were taking place at that time, and getting worse by the hour. What six leads does it record? The KardiaMobile 6L displays and records Lead I, Lead II, Lead III, aVR, aVL and aVF ECG in real time to your phone or tablet. ECGs are stored in the app which at the end of the recording displays the ECG trace, heart rate and classifies the recording into 1 of the following categories.

Easy to use:Place your fingers on the top two electrodes and touch the bottom electrode to your left ankle or leg. No wires, patches, or gels required. Cutting out alcohol certainly helps reduce the incidence of PVCs, and may help in the eternal battle of the bulge. The V2 upgrade performs all of the V1 functions above along with the following “Advanced Determinations” that previously were labeled as “Unclassified”With the 6L we can zoom in on the PDF to easily see the PR intervals (typically on Lead II) count the number of ‘little boxes’ or portions thereof, leading up to a paused QRS complex. The 6L doesn’t do the counting for us … we need to simply count the ‘little boxes’ or parts of boxes. AliveCor aims at providing information to users when it comes to arrhythmia, for which it is FDA-cleared. The 6-lead ECG report provided can somehow be used for many more diagnostics. With its three stainless-steel electrodes, the device is stylish, light (0.85 ounces), and small (3.54 inches long x 1.11 inches wide x 0.28 inches).
