PurePulse™ technology ensures continuous, automatic heart-rate tracking, going beyond a basic heart rate monitor by providing heart rate zones to gauge different levels of workouts and monitor resting heart rates.
A total of 22 studies provided heart rate data.
The app doesn't simply provide the heart rate as a number, as co-founder Chris Bruce says it might cause a parent, who doesn't really know the difference between 130 and 120 beats per minute, to worry.
As well as providing a heart rate reading in numerical form, it gives the ECG trace (which charts the electrical activity of the heart over time and flags up potential anomalies) and measures skin surface temperature.
Similarly, for hearts suffering from post cardiac surgery dysfunction, therapeutic hypothermia for the first postoperative hours might be beneficial provided that heart rate is not inadequately increased by pacing.
Ivabradine acts by selectively inhibiting the ionic current If, which modulates pacemaker activity in the sino-atrial node, providing pure heart rate reduction [ 7].
The digital patch provided reliable heart rate values in the majority of patients (about 80%) with normal sinus rhythm, and in the presence of abnormal ECG recordings (excluding aperiodic arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation).
Ivabradine is an anti-anginal and anti-ischaemic agent, which selectively and specifically inhibits the If current in the sino-atrial node and provides pure heart rate reduction without altering other cardiac parameters, including conduction, and without directly affecting other haemodynamic parameters.
If the woman met the criterion of at least 3, 30 minute volitional sessions per week, she was provided a heart rate (HR) monitor (Polar E600, Polar Electro Oy, Kempele, Finland) and instructed to wear it while exercising during the following 7-day monitoring period.
