Abstract Objective To investigate the knowledge and attitude to remote portable mobile ECG monitoring in natural population, and to analyze the feasibility of performing remote ECG monitoring. Methods Investigation was carried out in 11 cities of Shanxi province, and 6503 persons accepted questionnaire survey. Results (i) The questionnaire survey reveals that 2900 subjects(47.9%) in the investigated population have undergone ECG examination, and they are older than those who have not accepted ECG testing[(48.2±16.9) years old vs. (41.7±17.8) years old, P<0.01]. (ii) There are 701 subjects(11.4%) who have known of mobile ECG monitoring equipment and its capability of remote diagnosis, and they are younger than those who have not known of the equipment\[(38.3±17.4) years old vs. (45.6±17.5) years old, P<0.01]. (iii) Subjects who are willing to conduct free remote ECG monitoring account for 91.9%. (iv) Only 1.8% of the research objects are willing to accept remote ECG monitoring at their own expense. Cost less than 60 yuan can be accepted by 66.0% of the population while only 63% are ready to pay more than 300 yuan. ConclusionThe awareness rate about portable mobile ECG monitoring equipment and remote ECG diagnosis is low among the natural population of Shanxi province, and thus it requires for enhanced propaganda. The vast majority of them are willing to be examined freely, most of them are willing to pay less than 60 yuan, and a minority of them are ready to pay more than 300 yuan.
