<p>A method of obtaining a twelve-lead electrocardiogram and a heart monitoring device (10) including a portable electrode support (12) having an array of six non-adhesive precordial electrodes (V1-V6) fixed thereon at positions corresponding to the Wilson precordial leads of an individual, a right arm electrode (RA), a left arm electrode (LA), a left leg electrode (LL), and circuitry (28) capable of producing a twelve-lead electrocardiogram. The method steps include applying the right arm, left arm, and left leg electrodes at the individual locations to obtain leads I, II, III, AVR, AVL, and AVF therefrom, engaging the array of six precordial electrodes with the individual's chest, and operating the circuitry for a time sufficient to obtain an electrocardiogram representative of leads I, II, III, AVR, AVL, AVF, V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, and V6.</p> |
