Polar Heart Rate Monitor

I use a Polar HR monitor (FT2) and I also have a CRT-D.

Mine is not Bluetooth....it's an older model but I have had no problems with it. It has been pretty accurate for me, even recording a high HR during an exercise class.

There are some others who say it doesn't work for them with their PM's.

If you are concerned, you can check with your device company. They are usually very helpful.
