Does everyone throw at least a little bit of “other rhythm” at least some of the time? I’m trying to figure out what is normal and what is not normal. Do we have any resources to have somebody explain what this is?

I seem to get between 20 and 40% “other rhythm” every time I run. I’m also wondered if this is normal.

Hi James – the ‘%other’ figure is not a particularly useful one, in my opinion, It simply says that ‘x%’ of 20 second sections of your recording have an ectopic beat. I just did the maths on a one hour recording of mine – a walk where the average heart rate was 90 and the ‘%other’ was 10%. The number of ectopic heart beats in that hour, that could have resulted in this ‘%other’ value of 10% was anywhere between 27 and 540, i.e. anywhere between 10% and 0.5% of the total heartbeats during that session – a huge range !!. So I tend to ignore that figure other than to provide a general trend in my heart rythm. Professional reviews of teh traces are teh way to go if you have any concerns – I can highly reccomend the ‘Fourth Frontier programme’ – I have a weekly session with my ‘coach’ who looks through my recordings and advises me as to whether any shoudl be looked at furtehr by my doctor / cardiologist, it gives me great peace of mind.

The Frontier X Heart Rhythm feature helps detect any heart rhythm deviations from Normal Sinus Rhythm (the typical rhythm of the heart). Beyond identifying the presence of other rhythms, it also helps you understand the duration, frequency and occasions when these rhythm changes occurred. Please note that Heart Rhythm does not capture all aspects of cardiac function. Furthermore, the Heart Rhythm markings are not sufficient to make any clinical assessment and are not intended to be used for diagnostic or treatment purposes.
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.
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.
