Question about AliveCor Kardia Mobile
Good evening my mother suffers from atrial fibrillation and with the kardia mobile I have always been able to record an ECG that indicated a possible fibrillation, but since she was implanted with a ventricular defibrillator the cardiac cannot record the ECG and indicates that there is some interference can you explain why this happens? Could it be that the interference is due to the fact that if there is a fibrillation the defibrillator kicks in?
Helpful answer
I also suffer from AFIB and found this device to be extremely sensitive to external interference - to the point that I no longer use the device. I got a successful reading perhaps one time in ten. I never identified the source of the interference so abandoned the device.
According to the manufacturer's website, the device has not been tested for use with implanted defibrillators and the like. Useful measurement results are not to be expected here.
Honestly, this is a question for your mum's cardiologist.
