In brief: The validity of 13 commercially available heart rate (HR) monitors was assessed by comparing the monitored values with simultaneous ECG readings. Stability, as well as validity, was measured using several ergometric devices, and functionality was evaluated by analyzing the practical aspects of each device. Results indicate excellent correlations between readings obtained by ECG and HR monitors using conventional chest electrodes to measure electrical activity of the heart. Most of the monitors using other types of electrodes or using an earlobe photocell to measure opacity of blood flow were inadequate. The authors point out functional differences in the monitors to help potential users choose the best one to fit their needs.
通过将13种市售心率（HR）监测仪的监测值与同步心电图读数进行比较，评估了其有效性。使用几种测力计设备测量了稳定性和有效性，并通过分析每种设备的实际情况评估了功能。结果表明，使用传统胸部电极测量心脏电活动的心电图和心率监测仪所获得的读数之间具有极佳的相关性。大多数使用其他类型电极或使用耳垂光电池测量血流不透明度的监测仪都不合格。作者指出了这些监测仪的功能差异，以帮助潜在用户选择最适合其需求的产品。
