ECG classification
is below 50 bpm. It can also be explained by the presence of an arrhythmia other than atrial fibrillation or a bundle
branch block.
- Noise: There is too much interference for the recording to be classified. Place your arm on a table or on your thigh,
relax, don't talk, and don't move during the recording.
After the ECG recording you will also see your median heart rate, derived from the ECG and your ECG filtered trace.
- A result of Normal Sinus Rhythm means your heart rate is between 50 and 100 beats per minute (bpm) and is beating
in a regular pattern.
- Inconclusive ECG results may be caused by errors introduced during the measurement, such as(1) movements that
cause a signal of poor quality, (2) by too much noise due to proximity with an electrical device that generates strong
electromagnetic fields, (3) an arrhythmia other than AFib, OR (4) if your heart rate is below 50 bpm or above 100 bpm.
- A small percentage of people may have certain physiological conditions preventing the user from creating enough
signal to produce a good recording. You can learn more about inconclusive ECG results during setup by accessing the
educational information included in the ECG area of the Withings app.
- A heart rate may be low because of certain medications or if electrical signals are not properly conductedthrough the
heart. Training to be an elite athlete can also potentially cause a low heart rate.
- A heart rate may be high because of exercise, stress, nervousness, alcohol dehydration, infection, AFib, oranother
arrhythmia.
- If you receive an inconclusive result due to a poor recording, you might try to re-record your ECG. You canreview
how to take an ECG during setup or by tapping Take a Recording in the ECG section of the Withings app on your
smartphone.
- All ECG results sync with Withings app on your Android or iOS app. You may use the Withings app toshare your
ECG with a clinician.
