Nope, you just need your credit card. The App will give you the option of who you want to interpret it...a technician or a physician, and how quickly , and charge you accordingly. There is also an option to just email it to your own EP or whomever you choose.

No you just pay for them. or save and show to your EP at your next appointment. You could e mail them. Try not to get obsessed with the machine. Isn't helpful if you do trust me.

tlhank you

As above if you live in the UK.

I get the impression that what you suggest is a requirement in the US.

Because I have PAF and can pretty much guarantee that I will be in NSR when I visit the Doc' I asked for analysis of an AF trace a couple of weeks ago.

This was returned within 24hrs and I have printed it off to show the Doc' at my next visit. I actully found it quite reassuring because it told me that I was in tachycardia and AF, which I obviously already knew, but that all was well apart from that.

I certainly agree with Bob about not getting too obsessed with it's use though.

And yes, you do not want your favorite new hobby to be taking your EKG. Keep it in a drawer, use it only when you need to.
