    Hi, how common is (other rhythm during workouts?
    I have owned the frontier x2 for around 2 months
    now, I notice it’s pretty common for me to have
    (other Rhythm) for 1% or 2% of recorded Ecg during
    running workouts. These are highlighted on the Ecg
    strip by a couple of o markers.
    Got me wondering how common is this and is it a
    regular finding amongst many or is this abnormal?
    might i add there doesnt seem to be any pattern of
    occurrence and can occur start/middle or towards
    the end of workouts, nor does it seem to be at a
    particular heart rate.
    Thanks.

    • It can definitely vary from person to person and I don’t think it’s a big deal to have such a low percentage like that. I got a heart transplant in May and my cardiologist said I can have up to 25% of the chart designated as “irregular”

      • Thanks for your reply. It’s seems the percentage can vary for myself during exercise which go me wondering how common that is, I’m still yet to use my complimentary review so it will be interesting to see how my ecg is interpreted. I have noticed that if I wear frontier x2 while sleeping a much higher percentage of beats is classed as abnormal however. Also hoping you have a speedy recovery from your transplant.

    • not sure how common it is, but I’m entering the X2 world as an non-competitive athlete with only occasional PVCs for known cardiac ‘abnormalities’ and I register 1-2% ‘other’ on pretty much every run. my guess is it’s artefact/some limitation of the device/signal. are you able to view in the dashboard where the ‘other’ beats occur? I haven’t been able to find those (yet)
