kardia

Hi,

I had atrial flutter treated successfully by ablation 2 years ago. I still take anti-coagulants and have been told that I could now stop these. I am worried about doing this, so my doctor is suggesting monitoring with a Kardia device for a few months and if all good, then stopping.

My question is, would a single lead Kardia be okay for this and do you have to subscribe to a Kardia membership for it to work?

Any advice would be very welcome.

No subscribing need and while the 6L is better, AF would show on single lead. Excellent devices and well respected I add.

Hi there

I am post ablation for VT ( procedure May 2021), now off all drugs, and building up my exercise regime and life again!

I have a Kardia mobile device, and use this mostly to monitor any blips I may have. It was recommended to me by a cardiologist at my local hospital a and e. I have a six lead equivalent one. It is reassuring and I have shared these recordings with the cardiac rhythm team and will share with my cardiologist at my next appointment.

I don’t subscribe to the Kardia mobile team, as I feel it not necessary for me, and my cardiologist knows my condition the best so prefer to share with him at appointments. But that is a very personal preference.

I feel when arrhythmia can very often be paroxysmal it’s great to capture readings when you feel there is a blip.

Hope this helps. Hope coming off the drugs goes well.

Take care.
