  • I will do my best

    slowest HR is 37 beats per minute
    fastest HR was 183 beats per minute

    normal HR for adults 60-100
    although it may be normal for someone to have a lower or higher HR without meaning something is wrong.

    HR below 60 is bradycardia
    HR above 100 is tachycardic

    He had 1323 beats that were above the rate of 100 beats per minute

    6744 beats with a HR below 60

    R-R means the tracing that the monitor produces, the highest or lowest (depending on which lead the tracing is being read in) point of the heartbeat 1.84 seconds is the time elapsed between the two R waves, thus measuring the HR

    supraventricular- means originating from above the ventricals

    He had 321 isolated (PAC) premature atrial contractions
    2 couplets meaning a pair or two consectutive PAC's ( normal beat, fast beat, fast beat)
    202 bigeminal cycles ( normal beat, fast beat, normal beat, fast beat…….)
    19 runs totaling 131 beats ( a run is three or more consective not normal beats) in your husbands case out of the 19 runs the abnormal beats totaled 131 beats
    35 abnormal ( fast in your husbands case) consectutive beats in a row was the longest run
    During the fastest run the HR got as high as 160 beats per minute

    Ventriculars- is a wider complex rhythm and originates lower in the heart that generally result in a slower HR but not always

    your husband had only one premature ventricular beat

    It goes on to read that the results of the tachycardia were not real due to the machine picking up the T wave reading as a R wave, as I explained the R wave is the tallest point of the EKG reading and if the T wave ( the hump that follows after the R wave) is amplified for some reason ( bad hookup, lead position, machine misreading, or body movement) it will read the HR wrong and sometimes the rhythm.

    I hope this helps

  • Heart Rate Monitor?
    Take a look at the Omron HR 100C heart rate monitor. It is one of the best selling heart rate monitors on Amazon. It is quite inexpensive at around $30 on Amazon and delivery is free. The Omron comes with a chest strap and a wrist watch. It is popular for people using a heart rate monitor for the first time.

  • Bike computers?
    Check out the cyclocomputers on Nashbar.com. They always have something going on. I have always liked Cateye. They have been around forever. I still use the wired computer I got back in the early 80s. Nashbar has the Cateye CC-HR200DW (heart rate/wireless) on sale for $140, or if you want to splurge, the Garmin GPS is less than $200. I have a separate GPS unit I can use for other things besides biking, but it is nice to have a all-in-one unit. Just knowing the elevation is helpful. The things you list that are necessary to you, you can get for around $40+ (regular price) or $25+ (on sale). Good luck.

    here's one that is just barely over $50:

    here's another one that's even cheaper, though it only gives you your heart rate:
