Howdy! I picked up the Frontier X after my cardiologist told me to limit my exercise to “light to moderate” workouts while we address my idiopathic cardiomyopathy (7 cm). I am not convinced that exercise is the cause. Even with my most intense workouts, the most Cardiac Strain my Frontier X has reported was 0.04, with an average of 0.01. Are there any data/studies that discuss cardiac strain and cardiomyopathy? I haven’t seen anything from my own searching.

Okay, good to know! I’ll keep my focus on heart rate during my activities. I also have a follow-up with my cardiologist pretty soon, and I hope he will be willing to review the data

Hi The Chadd,
I hope you’ve been enjoying the Frontier X. We hope you’re using breathing rate alerts to regulate your exercise intensity to light and moderate workouts as you desired.
It’s completely normal for most individuals to have normal cardiac strain during intense workouts and may not be related to cardiomyopathy. Here is some more information about cardiac strain https://fourthfrontier.com/pages/know-the-science
However, perpetually high heart rates may worsen cardiomyopathy which may be a reason that your Cardiologist suggested that you keep your exercise intensity between light and moderate workouts. I hope this help!
