Anybody here have any knowledge and/or experience with this instrument? Saw it for sale at Shoppers.

It would seem to be for those who have issue with medications, those who are already diagnosed with a known heart issue and those that have a pacemaker. There is no need to constantly monitor your own heart rhythm otherwise, unless you are in one of the classes above. A simple blood pressure monitor device, also sold at Shopper's and elsewhere is a good thing to have if you have HBP, they also can detect abnormal heart rhythms.

Ten clicks-through later I find out it is $259.

I just got back from the Doctor and he told me I had hypochondria...

Damn... not that too!

This monitor is also a good test but you have to wear it continuously for 24-48 hours.

Anybody here ever had blocked arteries? How was it discovered?

Here is a review of an older model done in 2013.
handy little device for the people that have a heart condition.

It was discovered via angiogram after I had a mild heart attack at 50.

Prior to that I had no fucking idea or warning. 3 stents later I am careful about what I eat to a degree....I want to live but I also want a life. A little pat of butter IMO is 1000% times better than margarine that can sit on your counter for a century and never go bad.

Do you have a family history of heart disease?
