12 Lead Ecg Fabric Electrode Belt System

摘要

There is described a wearable 12-lead ECG fabric electrode belt system having the standard 10 electrodes permitting the capture of a 12-lead ECG by using predetermined electrical vectors passing through the heart. This system is devoid of the electrodes normally present at the feet or lower pelvis area of the patient. Non-adhesive electrodes are used, which is an advantage for the skin of the patient and allows the patient the possibility of removing and repositioning the belt system if need be. All of the electrodes on the chest area are provided in a single line and positioned just below the pectoral line.
