Heart disease, such as Ischemia, is reportedly the number one cause of death in America, killing close to 635,000 people every year. Portable EKG machines, also known as portable ECG machines, were designed to help monitor heart conditions in a more effective and manageable way in order to reduce the number of conditions left untreated and unmonitored.
