New here! Great to be here! Advice on at home ECG

Hello everyone,

Glad to be here I hope everyone is keeping well and safe!

I was just wondering if anyone could give me some advice on portable ECG that you can take at home. I have identified three and would very much welcome anyone's reviews.

This is probably my favourite as you have the pads that attach to the machine although there is only two – I think the third is by placing your finger on the machine so it is three leads overall

I will be looking at getting the six lead version but there is only three points to put your fingers and knee on (confusing)

This machine is three physical leads but lacks on the software capability

Kind regards Mike

Thank you very much for the reply so the one that is so-called six lead from AliveCors Second in the list? What do you think of this? It seems you place your fingers on the small device

Perhaps give the BHF helpline a call and speak to one of the Cardiac nurses?

Or discuss your worries with your GP.

Hello there,

I really appreciate your reply, and I was just wondering if you could give me any more details on the other two that I have listed? You seem very knowledgeable in this and I have no idea. So far my favourite one seems to be the pulsebit
