The skeptical cardiologist refuses to buy anything on Black Friday. I don’t want to be manipulated into buying something just because it is cheaper for a while.
However, I have noticed that many of the cardiovascular products I recommend or have written about are substantially discounted today.
I present them in no particular order.
The QardioArm BP cuff which I have called the iPhone of BP devices is marked down from $99 to $69$ for a “limited time.”
While it is portable, stylish and accurate it is not, as Qardio ludicrously claims, “four times more effective at lower blood pressure.”
Omron, whose blue-tooth enabled BP devices connect to an online dashboard your doctor can visualize is offering 30% off through 12/31/2019 on all devices on their website.
I presume this includes the delightful Omron Evolv.
It may include the Omron Heart Guide, a wrist-based watch which measures BP. I’ll be writing my review of this device soon.
I’ve written a lot about the value of AliveCor’s Kardia Mobile ECG and the single lead device is marked down from $99 to $ 84 for Black Friday.
Finally, one of my favorite gadgets (see here), the Keyto ketone breath sensor sent me this email this morning.
I can’t vouch for the Keyto chocolate shake or the basil pesto that they are now including with Black Friday sales but I love the Keyto.
By the way, it wasn’t clear to me when I first got the Keyto device what kind of diet Keyto promotes. They favor a plant-based keto (with fish) diet which they consider “heart healthy.” More on this down the line.
Appositely Yours,

I value TSC’s opinion whenever shared. I decided to try the EMAY-20 instead of the Kardia mobile because there is no subscription required and it offers a look at all the limb leads. Plus it’s bluetooth. A little more money and better reviews on Amazon too. Thanks for getting me to make a decision TSC!
Dan,
Let us know how that works out for you.

I am not getting a clean baseline on the EMAY-20 device and it is a little difficult to read. I guess a better read the manual and see if I can get a better recording.
ACP is great at tech reviews: I still recommend the Omron WRIST BP cuff which is on sale here.
