    When exercising what percentage of other rhythm is good and bad? I can’t find any information around this metric.

    • Hi,
      It’s important to clarify that everyone can have occasional abnormal heartbeats, and they’re often harmless. The percentage of other rhythms that may be considered “normal” can vary based on several factors, including the context in which they occur and individual health conditions.

      It’s important to understand that the Other Rhythm % is based on the number of 20 second sessions that contain a single or multiple deviations from normal rhythm, as a percentage of the total 20s sessions in your recording. It is best to look for relative changes in this feature to understand if there have been changes in your heart health.
      ‘This is different from the number of % abnormal beats and should not be considered a replacement. Furthermore it’s important that you have a clean ECG reading as noise may also affect the reliability of Other rhythm feature .A large change in your other rhythm % may be indicative of a change in your underlying ECG.

      For a healthy individual, small deviations in rhythms might result in a session being flagged as other. This can be especially seen to increase with caffeine intake, stress, or even at rest without any specific trigger.
      In scientific literature there is a wide range of % abnormal beats that is considered acceptable.

      Best regards, In patients with known heart disease or other risk factors, the threshold for concern might be lower, and the context in which the beats occur becomes crucial.
      For those cases its best to speak to a health expert who knows and understands your heart health history to understand better.
