Alivecore poss AF

[Mazza23]

This morning had this reading poss AF

It posts a bit blurred but doesn't look AF to me. Slightly irregular in places but on the whole good I would say. It would help if it were clearer but we aren't experts anyway.

I agree it looks regular but difficult to accurately measure. No p waves visible, but I gather that's common with the alivecor. The rate is also very slow for af, unless you are on a beta blocker.

A simple way to check for irregularities is to mark the positions of 3 or 4 peaks (r waves) onto the margin of a piece of paper and then move the paper to a different area of the ecg trace and see if it still lines up. In af it won't line up again in any other part of the ecg trace.

Lack of p waves typical with the Alivecor/Kardia? That's news to me. Lack of distinct p waves because of AF or related is more likely.

I have Kardia, and I do get p waves. And I don't get them when I'm tending towards AF, or having a lot of atrial ectopics.

It would be a good idea to send the ECG off for analysis, and show it to your doctor.

Good idea re the marking some peaks. I will try that. I wondered what those 4 marks are that you get on an Alivecor doctor's report, now I understand better. Thanks, Goldfish_

I always get p waves when normal
