To properly rule out a heart attack you would need

a) A twelve-lead EKG - which requires twelve wires to be connected to specific locations on your body

and

b) Blood tests

Therefore for a consumer-grade device to properly rule out a heart attack it would need to be a large EKG machine with multiple connectors as well as a blood test analysis machine. And that's not even considering that proper analysis of an EKG trace requires a trained medical professional, as the automated traces are notoriously unreliable
