App for listening to AF heart beat

[abihel]

I'm sure a while ago I read a post of someone who was saying about an app for you phone where you can listen to your heart beat....did I dream this...or does anyone know of it and where I can find it??? Thanks

Hi.

It may have been the Alive Cor app which goes on your phone and you can record ECGs- There are details on the AFA website I think. I have found it to be very useful

There is an app you can just download(free, or it used to be) called 'instant Heart rate' and it does just that, record your heart rate. I used to use it before I 'upgraded' to an Alivecor. The Alivecor actually takes an ECG and it's a contraption you fit onto your iPhone which in addition needs an Alivecor app to record it on.

Yes. There are several. The one that has been most accurate for me has been "Instant Heart Rate' by Azumio Inc. I would point out, though, that When I am in AF over above 110 bpm it can't cope and spends a long time trying to get a reading. That may be Because I have right and left atria which go into AF. It is a free app although you can pay a little bit for some useful extras. Anne
