Smart watches......

[Casualvisitor]

Hi,

I've googled and googled and YouTubed but can't find the answer.

When at rest my watch ECG is fine.

Immediately after excericse it reads as inconclusive or the odd AFIB detected ( heart rates around 100-115).

When I cooling down and relaxed post excericse my ECG 'S are fine.

Do ECGS & Excericse on smartwatches = dodgy results?

It's a Samsung 6 smartwatch.

any thoughts from other excericse folks welcome.

thanks C

Hello there I can only tell you what my heart consultant told me, when I showed him I had one and I asked if it was ok to have one as I thought one would be useful when exercising.

His words were to me yes, that's fine however keep out of the red on the BPM monitor.

My watch is 2 years old (but has regular updates) I wouldn't solely rely on my watch, I use it as a guide though, with the old fashioned way of ensuring I can still hold a conversation while exercising at the rate I am using.

I would finish with this I am by nature a technophobe and sceptic, and therefore wouldn't reply on google anyway. What I would say though (and I fully understand if anyone doesn't believe me!) but AI is improving all the time, (I know this as one of my godsons owns one of the most advanced AI research companies in the UK and from what I have been told and seen we haven't seen nothing yet as to the capabilities that AI will bring to heart care and diagnose).

I’m not sure what you’re googling or even want your question is. Exercise changes your heart rate and putting stress on the heart can often bring out arrhythmias. I get a lot more ectopics and a lot more of my left bundle branch block after exercise.

AF can be at any rate, high or low. Mine is usually in the 70s on averaage. My husbands only peaked at roughly 160. Others have rate up around 200.
