Does it measure an irregular heartbeat?

Since the monitor picks up your pulse, I'd suggest that if it's not showing a regular beat, then go get a heart check-up. It's just my thought that it would give an irregular pulse rate.I just finished trying it on my husband, who DOES have an irregular heart beat & the little heart shows a "blip" every 3 beats, which would definitely be his irregular heart beat. Hope that helps. Just watch the little heart on your monitor.

According to the Manual of Instructions that came with the wrist blood pressure monitor it says that Irregular or Weak Heartbeat Detector is one of the Error Indications. It will detect irregular heartbeats while your blood pressure is being measured. If an irregular heartbeat is detected, an indicator icon will appear. When this happens, remove the monitor from your wrist and wait 2-3 minutes and then take another measurement. Repeat the same operation and if you get the irregular heartbeat symbol again consult with your medical professional."

Yes it does. Thats exactly what it was designed for. I recommend you go to your doctor and get a reading from his/her device, that way you'd be able to get an accurate reading from this machine.Strange enough that I also do have an irregular heartbeat many many years now (1997 or so) and the doctor ran some testing for over a 2 weeks period to see what was wrong. Finally he told me thats the way my heart beats. To this day I don't ever worry about it and it does not worry me, and I'm 55 yrs young and going strong ☺ ☻ ☼

does this model (the 7 series BP-652) give two sets of readings for two individuals. I need to collect individual readings for myself and my spouse on two different channels.

I honestly don't know. As for me, I really didn't get this for use as an oximeter. I have frequent irregular heartbeat so I wanted it for the graphic monitoring of pulserate, and for that purpose it works beautifully.

No, it does not require a heart monitor. It tracks your calories by how much it estimates based on your movements. I think it is pretty good at sensing movements. Again, I have no problems with it other that you care barely read the screen. I wish the background was dark and the numbers were light.

No stethoscope required. The unit senses the patient's pulse thru the cuff. One problem is that the unit does not properly sense an irregular heartbeat. The inside computer becomes confused, since it expects a regular heartbeat. I gave up using it and bought a wrist cuff monitor that works repeatably with my irregular heart beat.

Yes it does. It goes on how fast your heart is beating and how long the workout was. I find it is pretty accurate. Just don't shake your hand while you are doing the pulse.

No. However, I have had 2 (different colors) for more than a year - both still measure pulse accurately whether sitting or working out. Occasionally, I have to allow it to reset, if I have checked my pulse often during a workout. Not a big deal. I have overall been very pleased with mine.

Not sure, it just doesn't seem to sense the pulse at times. Try putting it on your thumbnail

Hi Jack, I have a Micro-life monitor and am quite pleased with it - easy to use etc, though a larger cuff for larger people would have been handy as I had to but one especially. Your AFIB? Not sure what that stands for, so can't make a comment. However, the monitor does detect irregular heartbeat, if that's any help to you - all these gadgets are clever, but they don't replace a Dr or specialist. Cheers, Warren. p.s. let me know how you got on?

The unit has irregular heart beat detection and if it is detected more than twice during measurement of blood pressure, a symbol for irregular heart beat will display. However, arrhythima should only be dianosed by doctors with ECG. This unit should only be used to monitor your blood pressure. I go to my doctor every 3 months to get ECG and blood pressure checked, but I bring the charts printed from my computer with reads from this unit as a guide for my doctor so he can see my daily averages to adjust my medication accordingly.

Yes, it does have an irregular heartbeat symbol defined as less than or equal to 25% of the average rhythm.

i am not sure of an irregular heart beat-doubt it, but you get your oxygen level and heart rate...

No it does not do a continual heart rate. You have to push button on side for it to show heart rate. It would be nice if it was continual.

Yes the heart rate monitor only works when you touch the face, I would not recommend this watch for regular monitoring of the heart. It's designed for working out. I suppose if I felt my heart felt a bit irregular I might think to use this as a guide line or idea, but certainly would follow up with a true medical device or my doctor. I have been extremely satisfied with this watch for working out, but if I needed something to monitor my heart rate for medical purposes I would not use this watch. Hope this helps

Yes it does. Almost anything anyway, as long as you have a heart rate monitor strap. I even used it whilst sleeping to see how low my HR would go!

It does record irregular heart beats. The heart icon on the readout will blink when those beats are present. I'm an RN and have used it when I was having arrythmias and definitely saw it on the monitor!

The Omron 7 will detect an irregular heartbeat and has an irregular heartbeat indicator. It advises to see your doctor if you get the indicator. I suspect your doctor already knows about your arrhythmia. The manual mention a 25% threshold, so if you don't exceed that your blood pressure readings should be ok.

Only if u are setting it to keep track. You would have to also periodically check your pulse for a reading. This is strictly used for when you are exercising
