The AliveCore KardiaMobile 6L is FDA-cleared for detecting warning signs of heart-rhythms abnormalities. Once the recording is completed, the AI-powered Kardia Determinations are displayed as Normal, Bradycardia, Tachycardia, Unclassified, or Possible Atrial Fibrillation. In this article, we will go through these two portable EKG devices and their benefits and limitations. For those not familiar with the devices, we recently published a review of the KardiaMobile 6L. Why does detecting Atrial Fibrillation matter? NICE has today (Friday 12 August 2022) issued draft guidance recommending KardiaMobile 6L for measuring cardiac QT interval in people having antipsychotic medication. Cutting out alcohol certainly helps reduce the incidence of PVCs, and may help in the eternal battle of the bulge. The differences between the two devices are certainly not significant, but more is always better. And with six times more data, we hope that new algorithms will help offer even more detailed and accurate diagnostics.

Specifically, my Kardia 6L gives me an EKG picture of the Inferior Wall of my heart fed by my Right Coronary Artery (Leads II, III, and aVF) as well as the Lateral wall of my heart, fed by my Circumflex Artery (Leads I and aVL). I’m NOT getting a view of the Septal or Anterior walls of the heart (V1-V4). The KardiaMobile 6L from AliveCor produces a medical grade 6 lead ECG recording that gives you and your Doctor a more complete view of your heart using a free iOS and Android App. It's the first and only FDA cleared and CE-marked six lead personal ECG that will automatically detect Atrial Fibrillation anytime, anywhere on your smartphone or tablet. The 6L PDF report effectively simulates a paper EKG. Each ‘small box’ = 1 mm or 0.04 seconds. The typical PR interval duration: 0.12- 0.2s or 3-5 small boxes (variable by exercise and other pulse rate changes). See: The Kardia mobile single lead and the six leads devices are both excellent, accurate, and both provide valuable information in detecting arrhythmia. What six leads does it record? The KardiaMobile 6L displays and records Lead I, Lead II, Lead III, aVR, aVL and aVF ECG in real time to your phone or tablet. ECGs are stored in the app which at the end of the recording displays the ECG trace, heart rate and classifies the recording into 1 of the following categories.Capture a medical-grade EKG with your Kardia device anytime, anywhere—no patches, wires, or gels required. Get an immediate result from Kardia's Instant Analysis of normal, possible atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, or tachycardia. For additional analysis, you can choose to send the recording to your physician or to one of our partners for a Clinician Review by a cardiologist (US, Australia only) or cardiac care physiologist (UK, Ireland only). FDA-cleared and doctor recommended: The most clinically validated 6-lead personal ECG, CE marked and FDA-cleared to detect Atrial Fibrillation (AFib), Bradycardia, and Tachycardia.

Easy to use: Place your fingers on the top two electrodes and touch the bottom electrode to your left ankle or leg. No wires, patches, or gels required. Record an ECG anytime, anywhere:KardiaMobile 6L is portable and works wherever you are. Take medical-grade ECGs from anywhere and get results in just 30 seconds. Sinus Rhythm with Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs). I get a few of these and they seem quite benign. Easy to use:Place your fingers on the top two electrodes and touch the bottom electrode to your left ankle or leg. No wires, patches, or gels required. Six leads, six times the heart data:More heart data than ever before, right at your fingertips. Get more leads of heart data to help your doctor better care for your heart.

Once real-world evidence is generated, the appraisal will return to the independent NICE committee for it to undergo full assessment. The KardiaMobile ECG has two electrodes on top and one on the bottom. To record a 6 lead ECG place your fingers on the two top electrodes then touch the third bottom electrode to the skin of your left ankle or leg. It's that easy. In just ten years, the company has developed two unique devices, the Kardia Mobile and Kardia Mobile 6L, that may well be on a path to revolutionize how atrial fibrillation and other types of cardiac arrhythmia are diagnosed. Although I welcomed the Alivecor’s six-lead version of Kardia and found it to be a marvel of modern engineering, I had heretofore not found compelling reasons to recommend it to my patients over the less expensive single lead. https://www.heart.org/en/news/2018/09/12/new-watch-can-help-doctors-monitor-your-heart-in-real-time
