Does anyone know if this device also tests for atrial fibrillation? Thanks.

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.

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

NO it does not. I have LBBB and I can tell you it absolutely does not detect my irregular heartbeat.

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 &#9786; &#9787; &#9788;

Also, read the other answers: this device DOES NOT offer continuous heart rate monitoring. I think the description is a little misleading about that. For me a deal breaker.

I really can't tell you. I am not sure myself. I use it for a rapid heartbeat. I do believe it is somewhat accurate. I plan on testing it out the next time I visit my doctor.

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.

You need to remove the device from the band and run the heart test with your finger. While doing this it also checks your oxygen levels.

Yes, it does indicate a heartbeat. It also indicates that it is working and to wait for a reading.

Haven't tested with that watch, but looks like it supports ANT+ heart rate. As such, it'll pick that up from Viiiiva.

It does have a graph but I don't know how accurate it would be in registering heartbeats.

Yes. It shows one's pulse, with an "OK" icon to indicate the heartbeat is regular. I don't know how sensitive it is. I see that the newer model, BP785N, does not mention this feature.

It has a little heart that shows your pulse, if you watch it carefully, you could catch irregularites IF they were not hidden like extened q-r length or s-t segments. Basically it would show only the regularity of the beat, which you could get just as well if not better taking your own pulse and feeling for any skipped or fast beats. I would buy a stethoscope, which they have here on Amazon at very reasonable prices. I used to be an EMT and EKG Tech. I got both on this site and am very happy with the quality and professionalism they show.

I don't believe it does. We had to return ours because the blood pressure readings were inaccurate. They couldn't replace it and we bought a different type. But my husband has a-fib and never got a warning, even though he's about to have a defibrillator implanted.

According to my wife, this device works by vibration only. However, there are different 'pulse' patterns you can select. Hope this helps!

In order for this device to be suitable for PT/INT it needs to be correlated with a device already proven such as a laboratory instrument or a fda proven device using the same methodology. Usually the manufacturer has already done studies and fda 510k that they can provide you with the information. Please keep in mind that different methodologies yield different answers. You want your home results to be in line with what your laboratory gives the dr.
