There are considerable differences in the price of ECG devices, which is not least due to the fact that the areas of application are very different. It depends on whether a simple device for resting ECG determination is sufficient or whether a long-term or stress ECG is to be carried out.
Depending on this, devices are used both inexpensively for private use and in higher price segments for everyday practice and hospital use. Simple single-channel ECG devices are available from around €149. These are a good way to get a quick and simple picture of one's own cardiac excitation with the help of a lead.
Mobile ECG devices, which are used by emergency doctors, for example, and can display up to 12 channels of leads, can reach into the higher three- to four-digit range at the other end of the spectrum. ECG devices that are used for everyday hospital and practice work are usually priced even higher. ECG devices are usually not covered by health insurance and must be paid for privately as a self-pay service.
