Abstract
An apparatus for obtaining electrical heart activity of an individual in a form capable of producing a twelve-lead electrocardiogram of an individual, said apparatus including: a right arm electrode; a left arm electrode; at least one leg electrode; a portable electrode support having a plurality of at least seven precordial electrodes fixed thereon. The at least seven precordial electrodes extend laterally across the support so as to assume different lateral positions across the human chest when the support is positioned over the chest. Circuitry is carried by the support in electrically connected relation to the electrodes and is capable of selectively operating a selected six of the plurality of precordial electrodes at positions which correspond to the six Wilson precordial leads for the individual. The circuitry is constructed and arranged to convert the electrical heart activity of the individual obtained by the electrodes into a form capable of producing a twelve-lead electrocardiogram.
