Comment on heart rate recording in field studies.
This is a report of our experience using the Uniq Heart Watch for recording the heart rate in epidemiologic settings. Relatively few heart rates are missed during occupational and leisure activities. However the mean daily heart rate among subjects is somewhat variable so that several week days and Saturday and Sunday should be monitored to obtain a representative daily average.
