Patent Images
1. An ECG diagnostic pad comprising:
- a pad base having a pair of upper fit portions extending aslant upward and each having an upper limb lead electrode for detecting a limb lead ECG current, a pair of central fit portions extending horizontally, and a pair of lower fit portions extending aslant downward and each having a flank lead electrode for detecting a lead ECG current, said upper, central, and lower fit portions being attached to a central portion of said pad base so as to form an asterisk shape;
one of said pair of central fit portions being provided with unipolar precordial lead electrodes for detecting precordial lead ECG currents, and the other of said pair of central fit portions being provided with an ECG control unit connected to said lead electrodes for receiving ECG currents from the lead electrodes and for deriving ECG data signals for diagnosis from said ECG currents; and
a fastening means attached to said upper, central and lower fit portions for fixing said pad base onto a subject.

Abstract
An ECG diagnostic pad having upper fit portions with upper limb lead electrodes, central fit portions with unipolar precordial lead electrodes and lower fit portions with flank lead electrodes is fitted onto the chest wall of a human subject. Only by attaching the pad onto the chest wall of the subject, the lead electrodes can readily be brought in close contact with the desired locations prescribed anatomically on the chest wall with accuracy.
