For peace of mind I have the RoadId app which notifies my wife if I have stopped cycling. I also have the series 4 Apple watch with EKG capabilities and fall monitor.
I feel better when I know someone is electronically tracking me.
Good luck to you. Let your cardiologist become your new best friend.
Apple Watch Series 4 will ultimately have EKG capability. Otherwise, there's Kardia. I've actually sent EKG tracings from it to my cardiologist while on the trail. I could tell that I wasn't in a-fib, but I send them to him anyway since he's the one that suggested the Kardia. My cardiologist actually IS my best friend.
