Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Early diagnosis is pivotal importance for patients with cardiac arrhythmias ischemia to minimize consequences like strokes myocardial infarctions. The chance capturing signals or substantially high when a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) can be recorded at moment patient experiences symptoms. However, until now, available diagnostic systems (Holter monitors other wearable ECG sensors) have not enabled record reliable home.
