I'd like to see some data on the rate of false-positives for this type of scenario. I can only assume your situation was an edge case and that were it indeed a serious problem, you would be singing a different tune. Clearly there is some benefit to using ECG as a diagnostic tool to save lives, so your scenario doesn't necessarily negate the ones that are truly cardiovascular problems. Not that you don't have a valid argument (you do and thanks for sharing btw), but it's a matter of weighing the total outcome across the board I think.
