Abstract:
1. A wearable for administration or self-administration of a resting 12-or-more-lead ECG from full or reduced electrode sets, of a subject having arms and a body, the wearable comprising: a thin flexible electrode support adapted to be worn only about the subject's torso and having an inside in contact with the subject's torso and an outside, the support further supporting a plurality of electrodes, including at least one precordial electrode and LA, RA, and LL electrodes, and electrode-supporting cushions attached to or integral to the outside of the electrode support with the LA and RA electrodes attached to or integrated into the electrode-supporting cushions, the cushions placed on the electrode support such that pressure is exerted by the cushions upon the arms when the arms are placed in contact with the cushions directed downwardly in either a sideward, backward or forward direction, the pressure being sufficient to make the cushion-mounted LA and RA electrodes contact with the medial, posterior or anterior surfaces of the arms without substantial muscular exertion on the part of the subject to press the arms into the cushion-mounted LA and RA electrodes.
