	Why Open ECG Resources Heart disease is the leading cause of death and disability in the world. It is estimated that heart disease caused 13 million deaths in 2008. It is estimated that this number will reach 23 million deaths in 2030. Heart disease is responsible for 23.6% of the total number of deaths from natural causes (source: World Health Organization 2011). The electrocardiogram (ECG) is the first examination is essential for a diagnosis of major diseases, in particular cardiovascular diseases with greater social impact such as myocardial infarction. More widespread examination in all sectors of the population could significantly reduce the chronicity of these diseases with a substantial reduction in preventable deaths. Open ECG resources can increase the diffusion of ECG in the world by reducing the cost of the devices, improve quality and usability and increase know-how in the medical community. The ten leading causes of death (Who, 2011)
