Whatever device you choose to monitor your heart will be very useful and beneficial. However, depending on the reason you need to purchase one, there will be variables that suit you best and/or suit your needs. Here we have shown you, basically, three ECG presentations: a wristband, a belt and two monitors.
Here are some of the factors to consider for each of them according to the use you want to make of them, as there are different types depending on what you need to measure. There are those that monitor your heart in a relaxed state, stress or exercise and ambulatory ones.
Bracelet: with a bracelet you can monitor your heart in movement, it is not only ideal for athletes but also for those who require a 24/7 record for a specific health condition. It also has sensors to measure blood flow (PPG), especially useful for not overdoing it during exercise.
Belt: all ambulatory equipment works with sensors and for them to work well they have to be attached to the body to detect the electrical activity of the heart. This is one of the advantages of the chest belt as it has greater and more constant contact with the skin. Therefore, they will provide better accuracy.
Monitors: these are a little more specialised even if they are portable as they will give you a much more specific on-screen report. Some already include the electrodes and allow the information to be shared with a cardiologist or family doctor. They are recommended for use by people working in health care.
