Blood-pressure meter for a pace-maker?
 
Hi!

I'm new here so please excuse me if this is the wrong subforum. (If 50+ would have been better, then please move as desired).
I know there are several gadgets available for such continuous measurements (blood pressure as in systole and diastole, not just puls) and I already have an old Polar model with chest belt but in the meanitime I also have a pace-maker so am unsure what of to use. Cardiologists ditto. :crash:
I couldn't find any info online. I'm thinking about something for the wrist or -- if abolutely necessary -- the upper right arm.

Thanks in advance :thumb:

Are you planning on using this BP device while you ride and/or exercise? If so, your arm movement, causing interference, will render the readings meaningless.

Let's say I'm riding my bike on an ordinary flat road and hold my arms and wrists in exactly the same position for 2-3 minutes every now and then. That wouldn't create much movement. No more than my breathing in and out would under a chest belt heart rate monitor.
Maybe I should just stick to measuring my pulse like with a Polar CS400. If those gadgets are also made for real runners, any arm movement could apparently create no harm.
