Heart Attack

We know how a "heart attack" --> Myocardial infarction happens, shouldnt it be possible to build a device which can scan for these signs and give a warning, so that the there would be a better chance for survival?
Heart diseases are the most likely diseases to kill people, shouldnt we do soemthing about that?

Indeed there are multiple such consumer devices, you can find some just by googling. It's not a bad idea - I've understood that often people are uncertain if they're experiencing heart-related symptoms, and sometimes dismiss the initial symptoms as something minor. A portable ECG device would be an easy fix for that.
Best preventative would be exercise, I think

You are right, but sometimes even People who exercise can get Heart Problems.
I once saw an ECG device which was built in a Phone, it consisted of "pins" on the backside of the cell phone and those pins were placed on the chest so that an ECG could be taken.
I dont know if this thing was very accurat, and i havent seen it anywhere lately.
