I think there's a device called Kardia or something on Amazon that does a heart scan of some sort. If you're into that sort of thing might be worth the Amazon search.

It has a fee anytime you want to send it to a cardiologist for a reading

It does, but if it comes back as something irregular, you really should get it checked. Although I think all mine were not really accurate, but I have an odd issue.

A family member is doing an Apple Watch study through Yale or Cornell I think. He had to pay like $50 for the watch and taxes. They look at his heart date for several years.

Yes, but there’s no need to ever do that. Atrial fibrillation traces are the easiest EKG abnormality to read for the layman, and Kardia will automatically flag afib traces.
