Overnight EKG recorders and EMF's

[datetree]

a) What is the Best overnight EKG recorder? b) Which is best for recording Afib?
c) How is it ( the answer to a))  for  having low EMF's?

This question is meant to be distinct from my other thread, posted today,  involving smartwatches/pulse oximeters/ sleep analyzers, as these may or may not record EKG. Recording HRV is considered a plus.

I have already seen a related question considered in a different thread, involving good basic storage of the essentials: HR and O2 Sat, and how the data is recorded or communicated to the user ( The Cloud, or on the device itself). 

The EMF consideration is meant to be the next level of consideration, while also adding EKG, and  if possible  aA fib (AF) detection to the mix. It is understood that the smart watches have this capability ( AF detection) but they may lack a good grade of both sensitivity and specificity, so I am looking for medical grade EKG and low EMF's . :
There is a youtube link from " The Quantified Scientist" discussing this on youtube.As I am a newbie, I am not allowed to include the  link here.


Thank you!

I am curious as to what EMF is supposed to mean. Do you mean something that does not emit any electromagnetic radiation? A holter uses wires and a battery powered pack so it certainly is not wireless, e.g. no bluetooth or wifi connection.

Who will interpret a non-stop (or overnight) ECG? I had a 24 hour Holter test and even my cardiologist used specialized software to read every heartbeat (in my case around 104,000 heartbeats) and not by eye. It was certainly sensitive, detecting 3 PVCs, not 3 runs of PVCs, but 3 PVCs out of 104,000 beats.

Maybe you can buy a second hand Holter, a bunch of chest stickers and leads and a computer program to analyze an ECG. Programmed to look specifically for atrial fibrillation.

I don't think many smart devices are approved to perform actual ECG other than looking for heart rate which isn't an ECG and AFib detection but only that and nothing else.

Thanks! By EMF, I mean electromagnetic frequency emissions.

go to t1dliving.com forward slash emf's of diabetes devices

such as might be measured with a Trifield recorder such as she shows above.
( I hope that i can post that link!).

I don't need to analyze the EKG's myself. I would only ask that either the worrisome areas be highlighted- and then I can send it out one of many services, or better yet give to my cardiologist by email. If as i suspect in my case, there wont often be troublesome areas, I could possibly analyze them myself. But lets start with AF, i would want the device to flag that as a start.  device not have EMF's, including cellular, wireless or bluetooth while i am wearing it ( could be disabled and enabled, toggled on and off easily)The main thing is that the device not have EMF's, including cellular, wireless or bluetooth while i am wearing it ( could be disabled and enabled, toggled on and off easily.)

As for what the FCC or FDA or CDC for that matter says about what is a safe exposure, that is a matter of personal preference. X Rays anyone?

Supplier #40 has recording ECGs and Holter monitors. What EMF frequency are you concerned with? Not all of them are problematic.

I will check that out. If you go to the website i mentioned, she gives the  cutoffs for emf's.   see above as now it wont even lt me post the place not in website format     and look for emf's of diabetes devices
thanks!

Are there no NIH articles on this subject? I do not place any faith on one person's website that has not published any peer reviewed studies on this subject.
