Wondering if someone can comment on this data from my Apple Watch. My cardiologist had me forward it to him but I won't hear back for another week. I am 3 mos post mitral valve repair. Heart rate still high and BP 90's over low 70's/high60's. Wondering if anyone had... Read more.
It might take someone like marie that has medical training to comment. It beats a flat line for sure.
Nurse Myers here…Your EKG shows Normal Sinus rhythm, which is great. The stuff on the top line is just artifact, caused by motion or poor contact. Nothing to worry about there..
