I got one of those Kardia Mobile devices last Friday (12.13.24) and took my first home EKG. It said I had a "Normal Sinus Rhythm". Yay!
My Electrophysiologist suggested I get one, and if I have any odd readings I am to text him the results.
It's actually pretty slick, and super easy to set up and operate. I got the basic unit for $69 (Holiday special), and it's no bigger than a pack of gum. Once I downloaded the Kardia App on my phone and created an account I had an EKG in 30 seconds. To send it to my doctor I merely save it as a pdf from the app and send him the link in a text. Easy as pie!
There are different types of devices you can get, as well as subscription plans that do all sorts of things. My doctor said the basic model with no subscription was sufficient for me.
So, there ya go... Next time I see that commercial asking if I know my heart health, I can say, "Yes. As a matter of fact, I do!"
