What Is an ECG Heart Rate Measurement?
ECG stands for Electrocardiography, meaning that it uses electrodes to record electrical activity connected to your cardiac contractions. This leads to an extremely accurate measurement of heart rate.
What Are the Advantages of the Pulse Measurement on Finger?
Most ECG Heart Rate Monitors use a chest strap, however this can be cumbersome. With the PM15 Heart Monitor all you need to do is attach the monitor to your wrist and touch the sensor on the face of the monitor with your finger or thumb. Your heart beat will be calculated in seconds by finger sensor measurement on the arm or upper part of the body.
