A portable ECG apparatus and method therefor is provided. The portable ECG apparatus includes an electrode-garment wearable by a patient and that readily locates a plurality of ECG electrodes in appropriate locations on a patient. A presently preferred electrode-garment is a vest having thirteen electrodes. Output from the electrodes is connected to a diagnostic unit. The diagnostic unit is operable to analyze data generated by the electrodes and present a diagnosis that is understandable to a lay-person. In one specific embodiment, the diagnosis gives the patient either an alarm message, (i.e. the patient should go to the hospital), a warning message (i.e. re- administers the test), or a normal message (i.e. the patient's ECG is normal and no visit to the hospital is required.) By providing an initial diagnosis that is understandable to the patient, the time between noticing the initial symptoms of the heart-attack and arrival at the hospital for treatment can be reduced.
