No other chronic health condition has plagued and claimed as many American lives as heart disease. As the leading cause of death in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that one person dies of cardiovascular complications every 36 seconds.

A portable ECG (electrocardiogram) machine (or portable EKG machine) is typically a hand-held, easy-to-operate medical device that is used to record the electrical activities of hearts for detecting heart diseases. Some portable ECG machines use a USB cable to connect to a computer, others may have Bluetooth connectivity to a smartmobile device for ECG data transmission.

No other condition is as expensive and fatal as heart disease in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), not only is heart disease, such as coronary artery disease, very common nationwide, but its toll on healthcare, lost productivity, economy and quality of life costs about $351 billion annually.
