How many ECGs can you sell vs how many other snake-oil products? :)

(Edit: This is intended to be sarcastic. I agree 100% with the comment)

A lot, probably. You could sell people on the idea that it should be a part of your yearly health screening.

"And if you really care about your health you should do them every 3 months to catch problems early!"

or some such.

This will work short-term sure, but after about lets say, 3 years of no adverse findings, the average person will not take it seriously anymore.

Huh? I get a blood panel every year and 90% of the things it looks for are normal year after year. But there is always 1 or 2 things flagged that I need to pay attention to.

An ECG if it was just part of the normal yearly panel of things that get looked at I don't think ppl will stop doing it just because it doesn't find something right away

I do not consider the average HN commenter to be average.

“You’re waiting 3 months between ECGs?”

You can still sell snake oil that's purported to improve ECGs.
