Since most of the posters and viewers here are probably not what one would consider "spring chickens," some might want to look into this if this shirt will help them.

Israeli ECG T-shirt monitors hearts, saves lives

HealthWatch’s hWear washable garments feature sensors that read vital signs, inform doctors about patient health

An Israeli company is one of the first in the world to market with a T-shirt that can read a patient’s heart rate, blood pressure, cardiac irregularities, and other vital signs that could be the key to preventing heart attacks. Speed is the key — data is generated in real time and reaches the doctor immediately, instead of waiting until the next scheduled exam. And you can throw the special T-shirt in the laundry with the rest of your clothes.

HealthWatch debuted its hWear line of 15-lead ECG-sensing garments at the recent annual meeting of the American Telemedicine Association. It allows doctors and medical workers to keep track of a heart condition remotely, without having to hook the patient up to a heart-measuring device in a doctor’s office.

Would be so much more comfortable that the present 3 lead 24 hour tape or the implanted ECG recorder that needs downloading every day. I wish that was around when I first started to have heart problems the diagnosis would not have taken so long.
I wonder how many Palestinian lives this Israeli breakthrough will save, that will go on to try and kill Israeli children
