Two weeks in: interesting gadget. I’m a fit, heathly, active 55 year old cyclist (RHR 50, maxHR ~180, normal blood pressure, BMI 21). During my 1-2 hour daily workouts on Zwift, my heart rate is typically in the yellow zone with a few excursions above. I see nice regular rhythms (by eye anyway, no tools provided to analyse), pretty low strain…Read More

  That’s great to hear Mark. As you age, it’s not uncommon for individuals to have a few early beats. However, if they’re increasing with exercise or you are symptomatic they may warrant getting checked. Please consult a health expert with your data to ensure you’re exercising safely!

I just received my Frontier heart rate monitor and have set it up. My biggest question is, how do you know where to set the parameters> I am 65 YO with a resting heart rate of 44 and I do a lot of biking cardio and am generally in good shape – but I’ve also had several stents put in my heart for blockage and take blood thinners, a statin, and a…Read More

  What does “moderation” mean? I train between 60%-75% of MHR but I don’t know how that translates to cardiac strain or breathing?

  With several pre-existing conditions, it would be best to consult a medical expert who understands your history to ensure you are exercising safely. Regarding Beta-blockers , A good rule of thumb to follow if you know the difference between your resting heart rate before and after your beta-blocker would be to customise your heart rate threshold…Read More

Hi
I just received my Frontier X and I’m keen to get started using it. I’ve been aware of it for a while but decided to purchase after suffering ventricular tachycardia a couple of weeks ago. My heart rate hit 232bpm and stayed at over 220 for almost 90mins before I received a cardioversion in A&E. I’ve been diagnosed with a non-ischaemic cardi…Read More

  Hi Scott sorry to hear about these new developments. We hope that the Frontier X’s ability to record continuous ECG during exercise will help you capture changes when they happen. Keeping track of potential triggers like the intensity of exercise can go a long way in helping you modify your lifestyle keeping your heart concerns in mind.

  Hi Scott, I suffer with ventricular tachycardia too, although I haven’t had any episodes since having an ablation procedure last July. Both of my ventricles are enlarged, with the left pumping ok but the right not so well. I am awaiting an appointment with the genetic testing department to help determine the cause before my consultants decide w…Read More

At the Frontier Heart Program, we’ve noticed that in some of our users, increased alcohol intake the night before leads to more rhythm changes in their Frontier X recording on the following day.

A recent study has shown that in individuals predisposed to rhythm changes in the heart, a single drink could increase the likelihood of abnormal h…Read More

  I am a new user (just purchased but not yet delivered) and have also noticed that my night time resting HR and HRV are affected by alcohol consumption as measured by my Oura ring. This happens with just one drink! Of course, I’m an old man lol at 70 yrs so that’s probably a contributing factor. I realize this is anecdotal but it is repeatable.

    Hi El Rayo,
    The Frontier X will allow you to keep track of ECG changes beyond the changes in resting HR and HRV, by providing continuous ECG. This should allow you to get a better of the idea of further changes in your heart after alcohol intake! Would you be interested in participating in an internal study we are planning, which will look at the…Read More

  I also wear a WHOOP strap, and in general any time I have alcohol my recovery numbers for the next day are very bad. I think most of the times my Frontier Coach has identified heart palpitations during workouts have been days where I had a drink the night before. I have a coaching session tomorrow with several good workouts this week and no drinks…Read More

    That’s very interesting that you see these links! Glad to hear you had a week of good workouts!

    Do you wear the whoop strap with the Frontier or separately.

    I just got my Frontier today. However, I have had the same experience with my whoop and drinking.

  I certainly notice a difference even after just one drink anymore than that and and there are massive changes. Interestingly it also has a massive impact on the Garmin Body Battery scale. I no longer train if I have had anymore than one drink.

  Before I even got my FX I have pretty much completely stopped drinking because even a small amount makes me feel grim. One glass of wine per night (early) is my limit.
