I can see that HRV is higher for me in strips where an ectopic is evident though I do have other occasional high values where I have no ectopics. I think that ectopics are causing me to see a higher score than perhaps expected.

As a healthy female amateur cyclist in my early 60s my cardiac strain is usually around 0.12 max and 0.06 average over distances of around 50km cycle and on occasion close to 100km. I have no discomfort cycling and the summary indicates that the average strain is minimal. The max strain measurements of 1.2 are short lived and look like a small…Read More
