Irregular heartbeat
The iHealth Track blood pressure monitor has a function for detection of irregular heartbeats. When this is the case, an irregular heartbeat icon appears to the left of the pulse rate value.
In theory this should not cause for concern, but if the icon starts to appear more frequently (for example, several times a week for daily measurements) or suddenly appears more often than usual, we recommend that you report it to your doctor, who can perform further tests.
