  • Anyone on here have Wolff-Parkinson-White and Bradycardia too? Interested to hear how you exercise safely. I have been using the Fourth Frontier Monitor for over a year.

  • From my first run with the X2. Ran 16 miles. Felt okay… Any input on this ECG data? Looks like I don’t have a P wave, is that normal?

    • Looks very much like mine mxpxer7. I don’t have distinctive P wave either unlike my R and T waves – but i presume they must be there as my rhythm is pretty regular. Mine was a 90 min mixed effort. 22 mins on xtrainer as 4 min warm up then 1 min hard, 2 mins active recovery x 6. Then moved onto concept 2 rower as 2 min warm up, then 30 secs hard,…Read More

      • interesting, I appreciate the response. I wonder if it means anything… Maybe just the P wave signal is merged with the T wave signal?

        • The red lines i think are when you get a buzz each time you exceed the upper threshold on breathing rate. I have my upper threshold set to 52, and an upper threshold of 0.14 on heart strain

      • Any chance you know what the O’s stand for? Or the redlines?

        • The posts are an indication of an abnormal rhythm / palpitation every now and again. I can feel mine when they occur and suspect i get palpitations or pvc’s (premature ventricular contractions), usually as i start to work harder. The example below from the ECG (between 6-8 sec mark shows one of mine) . I probably have a few of these during each…Read More

          • Thank you for the response! I ended up getting a Holter from my doctor. I wore it for 8 days before it fell off. I was able to record some training with it so i hope it collected enough data. This is what my ecg looks like when I get a warning, I also can feel this when it happens.

        • O’s are abnormal beats Frontier has detected. The red lines on your breathing rate will be due to it detecting you upper alert limit that is set. I believe it’s set at say 45 breaths per minute by default.

    • At higher HR pwave harder to pick out. Check your slower rates for it. Also look at the o indicators for premature complexes, theres a lot of those as your HR increases. You don’t have your recovery HR on this chart, which is useful to see that it drops appropriately

  • Hello,

    Recently picked up the X2 because I’m training for an ultra marathon and have noticed some strange heart fluttering ever once in awhile when I’m running or even resting. I’ll post my ECG from my workout later today maybe someone can help me determine if it’s normal. I’ve been watching some how to videos online, a bit of a learning…Read More

    • Your X2 has a blue button on the bottom of the unit. When you feel palpitations or flutters press that button and it will mark it on your ecg report. Then you can post the images of the flutter.

  • Been having a lot of PVC’s lately. My doctor said they are benign…and my heart is structurally strong. I’m a competitive mountain bike racer and have noticed some strange behavior when monitoring my sleep.

    Wondering why my heart strain is dipping into dangerous levels during my sleep?

    • I would recommend you get a stress test. I am not a doctor, but your tracings look abnormal and your ST segment is raised – a lot..

    • Agree with kallseN that it’s worth further investigation. On the plus side a lot of athletes would get an abnormal ecg result based on voltage criteria – I have myself, several times. However your QRS wave is ba

    • …is mainly negative and the st segment warrants looking at.

    • …in fact looking at the overnight ecg as magnified as possible i would query long qt. Apparently the QT segment durations in males should be between 350-430 msecs and if >=450 msecs you should possibly get it ruled out as your QT segment durations seem to be consistent around 460-480 msecs. Currently my own heart strain reading seems to vary…Read More

    • ..and all the flag posts may be because of your low HR . Apparently the typical RR interval should be between 600-1200 msecs and because you are bradycardic yours is about 1300 msecs , so I suppose it depends on exactly what the x2 algorithm is checking. LAFB may also be worth ruling out as that seems to show similarities to your ECG ie T wave…Read More

    • …and just noticed on my own ecg during sleep, and mine also shows lots of flag post warnings in the couple of hours before I got up – and for a lot of that my HR was 45-46 bpm, so it may be the slow bradycardia sinus rhythm that’s triggering these. My heart strain did stay mainly in the blue /green during the night though.
