Cool Device?

So of course I've been reading other's blogs in order to "get a clue" about what I'm supposed to be doing here. I found Dr. Helen's blog from a reference to her heart attack as a young woman. This is good stuff for all of you who deal with people in medicine telling you that it "can't be you" having a heart attack in your 30's. Sometimes it happens.

Dr. Helen has arrhythmias as a result of her MI, and has an implantable defibrillator. She likes to keep track of her heart rate and blood pressure, and she found this nifty device on Amazon that she says will do just that, even when she has an irregular pulse. She says it works well for her, although I have no ability to judge its accuracy because I haven't tried it; the comments at Amazon are favorable. There are so many people with abnormal heart rhythms on my board, especially atrial fib, that I thought this might interest some of you. Their price is pretty reasonable for a cuff that also detects arrhythmias, so it might be a good holiday gift for a loved one.
