Apparatus for recording an electrocardiogram
First Claim
1. Apparatus for recording an electrocardiogram comprising:
- a portable housing; and
an analyzer which acquires, processes and stores electrical signals delivered by electrodes positioned on said housing such that said electrodes are capable of being applied to a patient'"'"'s thorax, and wherein said housing has i) a three metallic precordial electrodes positioned for application on said patient'"'"'s thorax to acquire three precordial signals, ii) two metallic peripheral electrodes positioned on said housing and adapted so that a patient'"'"'s fingers on both hands are capable of being applied to the electrodes to acquire two peripheral signals, iii) a skin electrode to acquire a third peripheral signal, and iv) a cable connected between said housing and said skin electrode.
