ABSTRACT:
A method and device for obtaining electrical heart activity of an individual in a form capable of producing a twelve-lead electrocardiogram of an individual. The device includes a portable electrode support having an array of six non-adhesive precordial electrodes fixed thereon at predetermined positions within the array which correspond with the Wilson precordial leads for the individual. The device also includes a right arm electrode, a left arm electrode, a left leg electrode and circuitry for converting the electrical heart activity of the individual obtained by said electrodes into a form capable of producing a twelve-lead electrocardiogram. The method includes the steps of applying the left leg, left arm and right arm electrode to the skin of the individual at locations such that the circuitry can be electrically operable to obtain leads I, II, III, AVR, AVL, and AVF therefrom. Human pressure is applied to engage the array of six precordial electrodes with the skin of the chest of the individual in an operative relation, and circuitry is operated for a time sufficient to obtain electrical heart activity of the individual in a form capable of producing an electrocardiogram.
