I have a Kardia even though I know when I am in AF without the device ! I've never had a problem in the way you mention. I've had the device with me when I've been in hospital and the readings have been much the same as hospital readings

They said they didn’t know and it was difficult to interpret (they said that about all 3 recordings)

I send mine to cardiologist and he never has a problem reading them even if it’s not Of great quality as occasionally they can be : think you need a actual cardiologist to

Look at your tracing as these doctors look at literally thousands
