Electrocardiography is a method for registering and studying electric fields formed during the operation of the heart. Electrocardiography is a relatively inexpensive but valuable method of electrophysiological instrumental diagnosis in cardiology.
2025: A Russian cardiographer is presented who removes ECG and immediately makes diagnoses
Specialists from Lobachevsky University Nizhny Novgorod have released an innovative portable cardiograph that not only performs electrocardiography, but also quickly and artificial intelligence accurately makes a diagnosis using (AI). Prime Minister Russia Mikhail Mishustin spoke about this development in mid-April 2025. More. here
2024
Sales of portable ECG devices in the world for the year reached $4.13 billion
In 2024, the global electrocardiogram market reached ECG $4.13 billion. About 44% of this amount fell on the North American region. Such data are presented in a study by Fortune Business Insights, the results of which were released at the end of March 2025.
One of the drivers of the industry analysts call the growing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in the population. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it is CVD that is the main cause of death worldwide, from which about 17.9 million people die every year. It is a group of heart and blood vessel diseases that includes coronary heart disease, rheumatic heart disease and other pathologies. More than four in five CVD deaths result from heart attack and stroke, with a third of these deaths being premature and recorded among people under the age of 70. Portable ECG devices are used to detect pathologies and signs of diseases in the early stages. Electrocardiography reveals a wide range of cardiological diseases: arrhythmia, tachycardia, bradycardia, heart aneurysm, angina, etc.
The study says that the pandemic contributed to the increase in sales of ECG equipment. COVID-19 People around the world began to pay increased attention to their health, which led to an increase in demand for medical devices that allow assessing the state of the body.
Another driver is technological advances that contribute to expanding the functionality of devices and miniaturizing them. The integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning increases the efficiency of analyzing collected data to detect arrhythmias and other cardiac anomalies. In addition, there is an increase in demand for remote monitoring devices for patient health: against this background, companies pay more attention to research activities in order to develop and market advanced ECG products.
At the same time, analysts highlight a number of restraining factors. These are, in particular, limited availability of data on the clinical effectiveness of mobile ECG devices, as well as concerns about the safety and confidentiality of data in wearable devices connected to smartphones.
Depending on the type of device, the authors of the study segment the market into ECG patches, wearable and portable solutions. In 2024, the first of these areas provided the largest revenue - 59.5%. Portable ECG devices are used at home, in diagnostic and research centers, hospitals of various profiles, sports medicine centers, etc. The home healthcare sector dominated the market in 2024. Geographically, North America leads, accounting for $1.83 billion against $1.65 billion in 2023. In Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, there is a significant increase due to the emergence of a large number of startups in the field of medical technology and an aging population. Globally, significant players are named:
- iRhythm Technologis;
- AliveCor;
- Qardio;
- Koninklijke Philips N.V.;
- GE Healthcare;
- Baxter International;
- VivaLNK;
- SmartCardia.
In 2025, sales of portable ECG devices worldwide are expected to reach $4.53 billion. Fortune Business Insights analysts believe that in the future, the CAGR in the market under consideration will be 10.1%. As a result, by 2032, costs could increase to $8.89 billion.[1]

2021: Moscow polyclinics are transferred to digital electrocardiographs connected to EMIAS
As it became known on December 27, 2021, Moscow polyclinics are being transferred to digital electrocardiographs connected to EMIAS. Thanks to the new equipment, doctors will be able to decipher ECG studies faster, and patients will be able to get their results faster. The latter will be stored in electronic medical records.
According to Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development, in 2022 digital electrocardiographs will be used in each polyclinic of the city. Earlier, this technique was tested in the process of medical examination of citizens in the pavilions "Healthy Moscow."

 | The innovation was very liked by both doctors and patients. Therefore, we buy cardiographers this year and massively re-equip clinics. In the same direction, we will move next year and try to very clearly connect wearable devices with EMIAS - such as daily monitoring of heart function and pressure, - said Rakova, whose words are quoted on the official website of the mayor of Moscow on December 27, 2021. |  |
She noted that the procedure for conducting a study on digital ECG devices takes from 3 to 5 minutes. The decoding of these cardiograms will be carried out exclusively in electronic form using artificial intelligence and automatically recorded in EMIAS.
According to the deputy mayor, the innovations allow you to store all information on the patient in one place for the convenience of the doctor. It also reduces the amount of documentation that needs to be kept. Integration of electrocardiographs with the EMIAS system made it possible to obtain ECG results not on paper tape, but in digital form.
The protocol and electrocardiogram of instrumental research performed in the city polyclinic are stored in the patient's electronic medical record and are available both to doctors at EMIAS and to patients themselves in pdf-file format on the mos.ru portal and in the EMIAS.INFO mobile application[2]
