Aim: As earthquake disaster-related death, arrhythmias, ischemic heart disease, and Takotsubo cardiomyopathy have been an important problem. We examined whether portable ECG could be available as one of the prevention measures at East Japan Great Earthquake disaster stricken area. Methods: 86 people who spent it under too cruel environment of a stricken area of Ishinomaki-shi and hoped to take ECG examination were intended for CG2100 portable transmission ECG and HCG801 device (non-transmission type). We performed a pilot study for the availability of those portable ECG at those area. Results: CG2100 was applied for 20 people. ECG was recorded in I lead and it was transmitted to a call center of MJG cardiovascular institute through a telephone. Atrial fibrillation and PVCs were present in two cases, respectively and one case became hospitalizing for cardiac pump failure. ECG was recorded in 66 people when an applicant could use HCG801 as heart examination use freely. PVCs were present in one case, but there were no abnormalities else. Conclusion: At a stricken area under too cruel environment, victims could use portable electrocardiograph easily. It semmed to be useful by using seperately those two models in case of mergency or heart disease detection survey.
