Allow ECG to provide a result over 120 bpm

If you take the ECG test on the Sense when your heart rate is over 100, the result will be "inconclusive". Competitors apparently give results up to 120 bpm. I realize a resting heart rate over 100 is Tachycardia and unlikely for most of your customers, but it's a cop-out to not give any result.

This is needed because:
Provide more worth to the ECG feature
I'd use this: Weekly

When I'm in Afib my heart rate tends to be above 120 bpm and this causes the ECG result to be inconclusive. Please improve the ECG capability to test for Afib with heart rate above 120. Note: can the moderator move this to suggestions. I'm not sure how to do it. Thanks

Please also provide interpretations/results for heart rates below 50bpm, many athletes have much lower heart rates. I as an amateur athlete have resting heart rates between 35 and 45bpm without being considered sick because of it. In my case, the interpretation would be "sinus bradycardia" instead of "inconclusive".
