heartbeat monitor

Cardiac rhythm display

A heartbeat monitor is a device that tracks the rhythm and rate of a person's heart, used in medical settings, fitness training, and home health care.

In hospitals, monitors display continuous readouts of cardiac activity; fitness versions typically wrap around the chest or wrist: My heartbeat monitor showed I hit 160 bpm on that last hill.
