Abstract:
1. A device for obtaining a standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and a rhythm strip, comprising: a. a personal ECG device having a housing, comprising a front side and a rear side, that includes an analog input signal processing module adapted for acquiring low level electrical signals from skin monitoring electrodes, a digital module for converting the acquired signals into digital data form, and a communication module for establishing a wireless communication between said personal ECG device and a mobile communication device, thereby enabling to convey data between both devices including the transferring of said converted digital data to said mobile communication device; and b. 9 skin monitoring electrodes suitable to be positioned on the body of a user in a standard 12 lead anatomical manner in accordance with Einthoven, Goldberger and Wilson, wherein said standard 12 lead anatomical manner is obtained by deploying said electrodes along a belt connected with said personal ECG device and on the rear side of the housing of said personal ECG device, wherein at least some of said skin electrodes are precordial electrodes located on the inside of said belt and positioned on the chest of said user, two electrodes that are belt-mounted limb electrodes located on the outside of said belt, said two belt-mounted electrodes acquiring electrical signals of the left arm (LA electrode) and the right arm (RA electrode), and 1 flying electrode (LL electrode), said flying electrode acquiring the electrical signals of the left leg of said user.
